answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2020 answer text <p>We recognise the range of views expressed by Parliamentarians on how the Global Human Rights sanctions regime is being implemented, including on which targets should be considered. Parliamentarians can continue to engage with the Government via the usual means, including by writing to the Foreign Secretary. It is not appropriate to speculate on potential designations, as to do so could undermine the impact of designations when made. We will continue to report to Parliament as required under Sections 30 and 32 of the Sanctions Act. Doing so provides Parliament with regular opportunities to scrutinise the operation of human rights sanctions.</p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 13/07/2020 15:16:32 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams
