answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/04/2019 answer text <p>As the Prime Minister has set out, the UK will look to carry over all EU sanctions at the time of our departure from the EU. During an implementation period, EU sanctions will continue to apply in the UK. Under the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018, individual listings will need to meet the threshold of evidence and justification that our legislation requires. In a no-deal scenario, the full list of those subject to UK sanctions will be published on the UK sanctions list on exit-day. The UK proscribes Hamas’ military wing as a terrorist organisation and retains a policy of no contact with Hamas, in its entirety.</p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 25/04/2019 16:06:18 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field
