answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2023 answer text <p>Since the coup in February 2021, the UK has announced fifteen rounds of targeted sanctions on the military leadership, and those who seek to profit from supplying the regime. We will continue to work closely with international partners, including the US, EU, Canada and Australia, to take robust action to reduce the military's access to revenue, arms, and equipment. The UK is committed to targeted sanctions, which directly impact the military without harming the wider population. This will be a key consideration for any future designations. It would be inappropriate to speculate on future targets by either ourselves or our partners.</p> answering member constituency Berwick-upon-Tweed answering member printed Anne-Marie Trevelyan grouped question UIN 194206 question first answered 19/07/2023 15:44:24 answering member 4531 label Biography information for Anne-Marie Trevelyan
