Dual Use Goods and Technologies: Israel
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps he is taking to restrict dual-use technology from being exported to Israel.
Answered by Mr Douglas Alexander
All export licence applications are assessed on a case-by-case basis against the Strategic Export Licensing Criteria.
On 2 September we took decisive action, suspending certain licences for exports of items for the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) that might be used in military operations in Gaza – whether such licences covered military or dual-use goods – and we continue to review licence applications on this basis.
