20 Jan 12. Select Committee Announcement. The Committees publish the Government’s responses to questions raised by the Committees relating to arms export controls. The Chairman of the Committees on Arms Export Controls, Sir John Stanley, wrote to the Foreign Secretary, on 18 July, requesting answers to questions the Committees raised in relation to the Government’s response (Cm 8079) to the Committees’ Report of 5 April 2010 (Scrutiny of Arms Export Controls (2011): UK Strategic Export Controls Annual Report, Quarterly Reports for 2010, licencing policy and review of export control legislation, HC 686). The Committees requested answers to questions relating to the review of Government policy and practice with regard to the export of equipment that might be used for internal repression.
The Foreign Secretary, Rt Hon William Hague MP, replied to the Committees on 30 September 2011. Here are the Chairman’s letter and attachments, and the Foreign Secretary’s reply and attachments:

The Chairman of the Committees, Sir John Stanley, said “Annex A and Annex B to the Foreign Secretary’s letter provide a very substantial body of information about UK arms exports and about the Government’s policies in this important area. However, the material in Annex B also brings to light new questions and apparent contradictions in arms export approvals and revocations to countries in North Africa and the Middle East that require further scrutiny. I have therefore sent a letter asking further questions to the Foreign Secretary.”
A copy of the letter that Sir John Stanley has sent to the Foreign Secretary on 16 January 2012 is also attached.
