This accounts for over 80% of the Russian banking sector.</p><p>We have already blocked access to £275 billion of the Russian Central Bank's foreign currency reserves which makes up 60% of Putin's 'war chest' of foreign reserves. We will continue to pressure Putin's regime, including through further sanctions designations along with the humanitarian, economic and military support we are providing to Ukraine.</p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 07/11/2022 17:04:28 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/12/2022 answer text <p>The UK has led efforts across the United Nations (UN) and the wider multilateral system to protest and call out Russia's actions in Ukraine. Russia's invasion of Ukraine is a clear violation of the UN Charter. We used our Presidency of the UN Security Council (UNSC) in April to highlight and condemn Russia's atrocities, rebut its disinformation, maintain international pressure on Russia and give a platform to Ukrainian voices. The suspension or expulsion of a Member State from the UN requires a decision by the General Assembly, upon the recommendation of the UNSC. Should the threshold of nine 'yes' votes from the UNSC's 15 members be cleared, Russia and China would veto such a recommendation.</p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 09/12/2022 14:37:40 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty

That ruling had held that the occurrence of pleural plaques is not a compensatable disease.</p><p> </p><p>Eligibility for the scheme was limited to that category of people as they would have had an understandable expectation of receiving compensation when they began their claim, an expectation which would not have been shared by those diagnosed later.</p> answering member constituency Aldridge-Brownhills answering member printed Wendy Morton question first answered 30/10/2019 17:54:39 answering member 4358 label Biography information for Wendy Morton
