The licence referred to and published on GOV.UK in the data for 1st July to 30th September 2015 as “4P”, permitting certain exports to the United States of America, expired in July 2018.

Two compliance visits were conducted during the validity of the licence, but compliance records are commercially sensitive and cannot be published.

The Rt. Hon. Lady will know that standard end user conditions for all Open Individual Export Licences (OIELs) are available to view on GOV.UK and, under this licence, the exporter could only export to a government directly or companies using the listed goods in fulfilment of any part of a government contract.
