Recorded excerpt

The latest assessment leaves our position on export licenses unchanged.

The exchange and context

Cameron announced that the most recent assessment did not change the UK’s export-licensing position. He said the position would remain under review and expressed serious concern about humanitarian access. The Commons Library records the related decision not to suspend or revoke licences.

What this records
