Regulars at Attorney General's questions know that the Law Officers convention prevents me from disclosing outside Government whether or not I have provided advice and the specifics of that advice. Colleagues also know that I take seriously my obligations to ensure that the Government are acting in a lawful manner on both domestic and international fronts.

I believe that I dealt earlier with the substance of the hon. Gentleman's question. We respect the independence of the ICJ. We have considerable concerns about this case, which is not helpful in the goal of achieving a sustainable ceasefire. We accept that the Court has made a provisional measures order, much of which we wholeheartedly agree with. The FCDO continues to assess Israel's commitment and capability to comply with IHL. Applications for export licences are assessed on a case-by-case basis against strategic export licensing criteria, including with regard to IHL. The Government can amend, suspend, refuse or revoke licences as circumstances require.
