Weapons exported to Saudi Arabia from the U.K since September 2001 to present

Dear Sir or Madam,

I request under the Freedom of Information act that you provide me
with the monetary value of all weapons exports from the United
Kingdom to Saudi Arabia from September 2001 to the most recent time
at which figures are available.

If possible I request that the gross value be broken down to
indicate the type of good (e.g automatic rifles, landmines, surface
to air missiles) and that the dates of transactions are shown,
broken down in units of three months.

A suitable response may include a bar graph (or a table from which
one can be made) with time- broken down by quarter- on one axis,
and monetary value on another axis and each item displayed.

By weapons or weaponry I mean any good which is suitable for use by
the military including dual purpose items.

Examples include but are not limited to: Body Armour, land mines,
ammunition, fighter jets, tanks, air to ground explosives (all
explosives), chemical or biological agents which are known to be
adaptable for military use.

If the scale of such data is too large to warrant a suitable
response then I request that you focus specifically on
explosives(including land mines, surface to air missiles, air to
ground missiles), ammunition, jets and tanks, and then provide the
gross data without further breakdown of transactions.

To clarify/conclude: I wish to know the total value (In pound
sterling, disregarding inflation) of all items which are both
suitable for military use and have been sold to Saudi Arabia by the
United Kingdom sine September 2001.

I wish for data of these sales to be broken down based on the
individual good and the date of the transaction.

Yours faithfully,

Joshua Carroll

Dear Johnson David (EITD),

I am unable to open pdf files on my computer and the HTML version
does not appear to be working, could you please either send the
text as a word document or email it to me directly, as soon as
possible?

Yours sincerely,

Joshua Carroll

Dear Johnson David (EITD),

Thank you for your prompt reply to lat message. The link you
provided me with takes me to a page that does indeed contain
information on export controls. However all the files here are pdf
too. I will make a separate FOI requst to HM Revenues and Customs
under your advice.

However I would also like to access the information on the value of
licenses issued for export. Pleased could you either provide me
with the information from the FCO office website in a different
format, or source the relevant information from within BERR?

To clarify I would like instead to know the value of licenses
issued for export of weapons to Saudi Arabia, rather than the
monetary value of actual exports since 2001.

Yours sincerely,

Joshua Carroll

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am not entirely sure why you have asked me to clarify my last
request or which part of it you are unable to understand. None the
less here is my clarification:

Please could you tell me the value of licenses
issued for export of weapons to Saudi Arabia from the UK since
September 2001.

Please could you provide this information in the format of a word
document as I cannot open the PDF files which are provided on the
Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) website.

Yours sincerely,

Joshua Carroll
