28 Jan 16. Committee on Arms Export Controls. The Committees on Arms Export Controls will meet (in private) the first time on Wednesday 10 February to elect a Chair and agree their future programme of work.
The Committees on Arms Export Controls consist of four select committees meeting and working together:
• Business, Innovation and Skills Committee
• Defence Committee
• Foreign Affairs Committee
• International Development Committee
The Committees on Arms Export Controls have worked together since 1999 to examine the Government’s expenditure, administration and policy on strategic exports, that is the licensing of arms exports and other controlled goods. The four committees work together because each has an interest in arms exports.
