In the Answer [cited by the Honourable Gentleman], the Government committed to considering additional measures with EU partners if the Burmese authorities failed to heed the calls of the UN Security Council Presidential Statement of 6 November. It was not possible to make this determination in time to allow discussion at the December Foreign Affairs Council, as the UN Secretary-General did not report to the Security Council until the following day.</p><p>Following the Secretary-General's report, we are assessing, with EU partners, whether targeted EU sanctions against individual senior military officers would be effective in changing the behaviour of the Burmese military.</p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 30/01/2018 16:45:04 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/01/2018 answer text <p>The Foreign Secretary discussed the situation in Burma with Canadian Foreign Minister, Chrystia Freeland, in September. The Government recognises the importance of maintaining pressure on the Burmese military and security forces and has played a key role supporting measures such as the EU arms embargo and suspension of all military visits.
