Dear friend,

INDUSTRY ON GOVERNMENT AND WE INVITE YOU TO JOIN US FOR A HYBRID PANEL
DISCUSSION. You can join us online via Zoom from 7:00pm, please register

The panel will feature Dr Sam Perlo-Freeman - Campaign Against Arms Trade,
Andrew Feinstein - Shadow World Investigations, Nico Edwards - Scientists
for Global Responsibility/University of Sussex, Dan Sabbagh - The Guardian
and B Arneson - World Peace Foundation.
The report is entitled _"From revolving door to open-plan office: the
ever-closer union between the UK government and the arms industry." _
It details the various channels of influence the arms industry is able to
bring to bear on government, such as the revolving door, lobbying meetings
with ministers and senior officials, and dedicated government-industry
forums.
This report also looks at how, over the past few decades, the arms industry
has been drawn into such a close relationship with government as to blur or
even erase the boundaries between the two.
This ensures top arms companies a guaranteed stream of lucrative MOD
contracts, despite persistent failures in delivery, and a highly permissive
arms export regime, allowing sales to continue to Saudi Arabia and Israel
in spite of the horrific human cost.
DON'T FORGET TO REGISTER TO JOIN US ONLINE TOMORROW [2], WEDNESDAY 17TH
