Ammunition: Israel

Asked by John MilneLiberal DemocratTreasuryTabled Answered 26 January 2026UIN 107297

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether HMRC holds customs export data identifying exports of live munitions, including bullets or cartridges, from the United Kingdom to Israel; and whether such data distinguishes live munitions from training, sporting, and other non-combat ammunition.

Answered by Dan Tomlinson

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) is responsible for the collection of Customs declarations and the publication of data on imports and exports of goods to and from the UK.

Data on ammunition exports does not distinguish between live ammunition and other forms such as those for training or sporting activities.
