Written question asked by Kenny MacAskill (Alba Party) on Thursday, 9 May 2024, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 14 May 2024 (named day). It was answered by Robert Courts (Conservative) on Tuesday, 14 May 2024 on behalf of the Attorney General.


Oil: Russia

Question

To ask the Attorney General, what prosecutions referred by HMRC are (a) ongoing, (b) pending and (c) complete into the illegal importation of Russian oil branded as (i) refined and (ii) from other countries.

Answer

It would not be possible to determine the number of cases involving the illegal importation of Russian oil referred by HM Revenue & Customs to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) without an examination of CPS case files, which would incur disproportionate cost.
