Arms Trade: Israel
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, with reference to the Answer of 9 March 2026 to Question 117035 on Arms Trade: Israel, how many of the five licences referenced are for IDF training; and what equipment is covered by those licences.
Answered by Chris Bryant
As referenced in my answer to Question 117035, all five licences were for IDF/Israeli Government training. The equipment covered by those licences included non-lethal ammunition only used in training and not suitable for operational use, components for body armour, components for military training equipment, and various goods permitted to be exported under an Open Individual Export Licence (OIEL).
These exports are in line with the Government’s decision in September 2024 to suspend licences for exports to Israel of equipment that could be used in military operations in Gaza.
