What assessment he has made of the potential implications for his arms licensing policy in relation to Indonesia of the human rights situation in West Papua.

Reply

HM Government takes its export control responsibilities very seriously and we operate one of the most robust export control regimes in the world.We assess all export licence applications against the Strategic Export Licensing Criteria, including Criterion 2 which requires us to consider the current human rights situation in the country which is the final destination of controlled exports, as well as respect by that country for international humanitarian law. The Government will not issue export licences if there is a clear risk that the items might be used to commit or facilitate serious violations of International Humanitarian Law (IHL). We also keep extant licences under constant and continual review on this basis.

If he will take steps to ensure that the Insolvency Service investigates landlords that do not follow tribunal rent rulings to pay back monies owed.

Reply

If a landlord fails to pay a rent repayment order, the order may be enforced by creditors using civil recovery action, such as pursuing a County Court judgment or ultimately petitioning for a winding-up order against the company. Should a winding-up order be made against the company, this would trigger an investigation by the Official Receiver into how the company's affairs have been conducted and to establish the cause of its insolvency.
