UK giving export licenses to sell Syria nerve gas chemicals

The British government has given an explanation that an export license was granted for the export of chemicals which were supposedly bound for a company based in Syria that was involved in manufacturing processes which would require chemicals like that. I’m still concerned, however, because of course the export licenses were issued at a time when the situation in Syria had already deteriorated, and this issue has just been raised in the House of Parliament, which your viewers will be able to see behind me, during defense questions, where defense ministers had to explain why it was that the UK would even consider granting an export license. 

There’s also a parallel development to this, which is that ministers are having to acknowledge that the UK trained senior Assad military officers in the UK over a number of years.
