Question
What discussions has the Cabinet Secretary had with UK Government counterparts regarding the presence of Welsh-manufactured components in Russian military drones or missiles, and what steps are being taken to ensure Welsh firms are not inadvertently contributing to the Russian war effort?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning
Export controls are a reserved matter and export licences are granted by the UK Government. Companies must comply with the conditions placed upon them when they apply for a licence to sell their products overseas and this includes components that are capable of being included in military and defence equipment.
