Written question asked by Lord Empey (Ulster Unionist Party) on Thursday, 19 December 2019, in the House of Lords. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 7 January 2020. It was answered by Earl of Courtown (Conservative) on Tuesday, 7 January 2020 on behalf of the Treasury.


Freezing of Assets: Libya

Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government what is the total amount of tax collected from frozen Libyan assets held in the UK since the UN Security Council Resolution 1973 (2011) S/RES/1973(2011).

Answer

Identifying tax receipts on frozen assets is complex, requiring entities on the sanctions list to be validated and matched against HMRC’s tax records. HMRC will do this as quickly as they can. The Treasury shall write to the Noble Lord shortly and place a copy of the letter in the Library of both Houses.
