Each Exit SI in the department was carefully considered on a case-by-case basis.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/04/2019 answer text <p>​In preparation for no deal, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) has laid Statutory Instruments (SIs) relating to sanctions, the Kimberley Process and the Overseas Territories, under the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act (2018) and EU Withdrawal Act (2018). On sanctions, the FCO decided to lay Regulations before exit for those regimes with particular UK interests and where the EU's designations might change after exit. It was decided that it was not necessary to have a full domestic SI in place for other regimes for exit day, because it was possible to rely on retained EU law for a period.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 15/04/2019 13:52:45 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan
