The UK continues to work with partners to tackle issues such as financial transparency and oil smuggling. UN Security Council Resolution 1970 and domestic UK legislation gives the UK the power to sanction individuals and entities who threaten the peace and stability of Libya. It would be inappropriate, however, to speculate on future designations as it could reduce their effectiveness.</p> answering member constituency Berwick-upon-Tweed answering member printed Anne-Marie Trevelyan question first answered 22/04/2024 10:48:26 answering member 4531 label Biography information for Anne-Marie Trevelyan
