The Ministry of Defence said that the military officials were not directly choosing targets or typing in codes for the Saudi “smart bombs” but confirmed that they were training their counterparts in doing so.

So you're saying the UK indoctrinated Saudi Arabia into it's cult and they're killing people with the understanding that it's the will of the UK?
unless you've got specific examples where the Saudi Military were advised by the UK and they went on to break international law then how is the UK in any way responsible for their decisions?
It's legal to sell jets and missiles to other countries just as it's legal to sell people guns. If Charles Manson was sold a gun and taught how to use it responsibly - is the gun dealer responsible for what he does with it?

If Brexit goes through, which is looking less likely, we will have to step up arms sales and manufacture because we will need the revenue.

We've lost a decade's growth already and it will take as long to recover it if any other members would trust us again.
