Mr Douglas Alexander

Labour (Co-op) — Lothian East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 June 2025

Debate

Arms and Military Cargo Export Controls: Israel

Contribution

I have given way several times on that point, so I am keen to make some progress. The Government have made these judgments calmly and soberly, and will continue to do so with full awareness of our responsibility. Let me now turn to the question of transparency. As the UK Government, we publish quarterly official statistics and an annual report about export licences granted and refused. We provide a searchable database allowing users to produce bespoke reports, drawing on this data, and we are committed to openness on strategic export licensing, which provides the means for Parliament and the public to hold us to account.
