Corruption: Sanctions

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 18 March 2021 to Question 168857 on Sanctions, when he plans to (a) make decisions on and (b) publish the first set of anti-corruption sanctions designations under the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018.

Answer

As the Foreign Secretary announced to the House in July 2020, work is underway to consider how an anti-corruption sanctions regime could be added to our armoury. Sanctions are powerful tools, capable of having a significant impact, and are complex to design. We are taking the time to ensure we get them right and will update Parliament in due course.
