UK Arms Exportation

EDM number 1587 in 2006-07, proposed by Diane Abbott on 04/06/2007.

That this House is appalled by the UK's continued involvement in exporting or allowing the export of arms to countries around the world; regrets that the UK is the second largest arms exporter in the world, and that under the current Government military equipment and services totalling over £45 billion has passed through the UK; regrets that the UK has in the past few years ignored EU arms embargoes and licensed military equipment to China; regrets that the Government has been reluctant to monitor the final destinations of these arms and that at times they have been used by countries with poor human rights records; and calls on the Government to stop relenting to the arms industry and put in place stronger restrictions on the exportation of arms during the Export Control Act review.

This motion has been signed by a total of 34 MPs.
