Dual Use Goods and Technologies: Export Controls
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what assessment his Department has made of whether dual-use components, including drone engines, should fall within the scope of export licensing requirements given the Strategic Export Licensing Criteria.
Answered by Chris Bryant
The requirement for an export licence for military and dual-use items is set out in the Consolidated List of Strategic Military and Dual-Use Items that Require Export Authorisation.
The dual-use list specifies, at entries 9A012 and 9A112, unmanned aerial vehicles and components that are subject to controls. These controls implement the UK’s commitments under the Wassenaar Arrangement and Missile Technology Control Regime. We keep these controls under regular review working with the international partners who operate similar regimes.
