Sudan: Sanctions

Question

To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, whether he is taking steps to assess the adequacy of UK sanctions in relation to the evidence of proxy companies detailed in the final report of the Panel of Experts, as considered by the Committee established pursuant to Security Council Resolution 1591 on 15 January 2024.

Answer

The sanctions which I announced in my Written Ministerial Statement of 12 July 2023 were designed to stop financing of the brutal conflict in Sudan. We are looking carefully at the contents of the Panel of Experts' report, subject to its final publication. Although we do not speculate on future designations, our sanctions policy is continually under review.
