A new web application has been developed by Campaign Against Arms Trade which will enable easy public access to a wide range of information on UK arms export licences.

Anti-arms trade campaigners will present a petition at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office calling on the UK government to end arms sales to repressive regimes.

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office's Strategic Export Control Reports reveal the UK government continued to licence arms exports to Libya till the end of 2010.

A new bill which campaign groups warn could precipitate human rights and environmental damage by UK companies is being rushed through parliament a day before the Government releases its 'green' budget.
