Arms Trade: Israel
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether he has made an estimate of the financial impact of the suspension of arms export licenses to Israel on British businesses.
Answered by Chris Bryant
We suspended certain licences for exports of military equipment on the basis of concerns of a clear risk of serious violations of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) in IDF military operations in Gaza.
The UK remains committed to our wider trading relationship with Israel which supports thousands of jobs in the UK.
