Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how many arms export licences the UK Government has granted to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for the last 3 years for which figures are available, and what criteria were used to select the more than 2,000 arms export licences recently reviewed for the UAE.

Reply

The UK operates one of the most robust export control regimes in the world. We assess all licences in line with the Strategic Export Licensing Criteria, and they are kept under careful and continual review as standard. In October, the government checked all current and past export licences going back five years. Further details can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/strategic-export-controls-licensing-data.The Hon. Member may also find it helpful to review the responses provided in the Urgent Question debate on the Conflict in Sudan on 5 November 2025, where issues around arms exports to other countries in the region were discussed at length.
