HM Government publishes data on export licensing decisions on a quarterly basis in the Official Statistics, including data on outcome, end user destination, overall value, type by these licences. This data is available at: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/strategic-export-controls-licensing-data.
The most recent publication was on 30th August 2023, and covered the period 1st January – 31st March 2023. Information covering 1st April – 30th June 2023 will be published on 16th January 2024.
Information regarding export licences granted between 7 October and end of December 2023 will be published after April 2024.
Licences are kept under careful and continual review as standard and we are able to amend, suspend or revoke extant licences, as circumstances require.
In the event such decisions were taken, for any licences, we would issue a Notice to Exporters, which would be published on gov.uk.
