Proceeding contribution from Lord Hague of Richmond (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 4 April 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Africa and the Middle East.
Africa and the Middle East
Basically, yes, any changes in sanctions on people who have defected from the regime are likely, in terms of the quantity of money involved, to be infinitesimal compared with the assets of the regime and its companies. We are talking about tens of billions of dollars. The United States has frozen more than $30 billion-worth of assets, so we are talking about something very tiny when compared with the total scale of assets.
