Recommendation 10

10

Require Government to explain how F-35 component exports align with UK's international obligations.

Recommendation
The Government should set out how allowing indirect exports of F-35 components to the global supply pool, despite the clear risk of violations of International Humanitarian Law which has been identified, is consistent with the UK’s international obligations, given that the existence of such “clear risk” is one of its own criteria for determining compliance with these obligations. (Recommendation, Paragraph 61)
