Arms Trade: Israel

Asked by Brian LeishmanLabourDepartment for Business and TradeTabled Answered 12 September 2025UIN 75110

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, with reference to the oral contribution, Volume 768, column 142 of 2 June 2025, what is the programme relating to the £120 million worth of military licenses for Israel issued in 2024 for components to support exports of military items from Israeli companies to a single programme for a NATO ally.

Answered by Chris Bryant

We have released extensive information on export licences involving Israel, including those that cover components for products for onward export from Israel. This can be accessed at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/export-control-licensing-management-information-for-israel/israel-export-control-licensing-data-31-july-2025. The government does not provide further detailed commentary as individual licences contain commercial and other sensitive information.

Values included on export licence applications represent the maximum value of exports permitted rather than the actual exports under these licences, which may be lower.
