Export Controls
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether his Department plans to review the criterion of specially designed or modified for military use in the schedule 2 of the Export Control Order 2008.
Answered by Chris Bryant
The Government keeps UK export controls under constant review and export control legislation, including Schedule 2 of the Export Control Order 2008, is updated on a regular basis to remain compliant with our national and international obligations and commitments.
Schedule 2 of the Export Control Order principally derives from the UK's international commitments under the Wassenaar Arrangement on conventional arms and dual-use goods and technologies, and thereby reflects the discussions and agreements reached with relevant partners. Any change would need therefore to be agreed internationally.
