Exports: Ukraine

Asked by Stephen GethinsScottish National PartyDepartment for Business and TradeTabled Answered 15 November 2024UIN 13191

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what recent progress his Department has made on assessing the export application for Ukraine with ECO reference SIE2024/004708 and SPIRE document reference 4388747, submitted on 14 May 2024; and whether any further steps are required to bring this application to conclusion.

Answered by Mr Douglas Alexander

We rigorously assess every application on a case-by-case basis against strict assessment criteria, the Strategic Export Licensing Criteria (the SELC).

We are reviewing this case with other government departments and we will conclude our assessment once we receive that advice.
