The general licence permits only the wind down of existing activity for third parties and expires on 27 March 2022. The general licence has been granted to reduce disruption in the UK financial system, not to permit VTB to proactively exit positions. It ensures that VTB will not benefit from a situation where UK persons cannot close out their positions or wind down transactions involving the bank. answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 07/03/2022 18:29:32 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
