answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/03/2021 answer text <p>The UK is a longstanding supporter of an arms embargo on Myanmar. We are clear that no one should sell arms to the Myanmar military. The UK played a key role in securing and strengthening an EU arms embargo on Myanmar following the 2017 Rohingya crisis. Since we left the EU we have transitioned this into domestic law. The UK autonomous Myanmar sanctions regulations prohibit the provision of military related services, including the provision of technical assistance, to or for the benefit of the Tatmadaw. We will work closely with partners to put pressure on those who sell arms to Myanmar.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 09/03/2021 16:22:22 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
