answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/11/2023 answer text <p>The Government has always been clear that our sanctions do not target food. They contain carve-outs to avoid unintended consequences for food security, including a General Licence published in November 2022 which permits payments in connection with food, fertiliser, seed and to be made to persons designated under our Russia sanctions regime. We have prohibited the export of certain items, which can be used in agricultural production, including tractors and cutting blades, because of their potential military application.</p> answering member constituency Berwick-upon-Tweed answering member printed Anne-Marie Trevelyan question first answered 15/11/2023 12:43:06 answering member 4531 label Biography information for Anne-Marie Trevelyan

The former Foreign Secretary emphasised the importance of continued alignment to EU ambassadors in October, as did the PM with President von der Leyen in early November. The UK has prohibited the export of certain items which can be used in agricultural production, including tractors and cutting blades, because of their potential military application. The Government has always been clear that our sanctions do not target food, with carve-outs included in UK sanctions to avoid unintended consequences for food security.</p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 15/11/2023 16:42:04 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty
