Venezuela: Sanctions

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, if he will take steps with his international counterparts to impose sanctions on the leading figures in the Venezuelan Maduro regime.

Answer

The UK does not have its own domestic sanctions regime but does act with the international community to implement UN and EU sanctions.

We agreed a tough EU sanctions regime on Venezuela in November 2017. Travel bans and assets freezes were imposed on seven government officials in February 2018 and a further 11 officials in July 2018.
