To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, pursuant to question UIN 117033, how many of the 5 ML3 licences referenced are for non-military purposes.

Answered by Chris Bryant

Three were not for military purposes in Israel. One was for commercial use, one for civilian use, and one for re-export to another country. The remaining two licences were for military training purposes, specifically non-lethal ammunition only used in training and not suitable for operational use.
