LondonThe UK has suspended 0 more Israel arms licences since 8 September.
Foreign secretary Ed Miliband promised a “double lock” refusing exports that materially contribute to the occupation of Palestine.
The trade department told parliament relevant licences were already suspended over Israel’s conduct in Gaza, so nothing new qualified.
Trainer aircraft parts still ship to Israel, and the trade department says they do not materially contribute to the occupation.
