question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the British insurance companies providing services to the gas extraction and export industry in Myanmar.
tabling member printed	Baroness Nye
uin	HL5150
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/02/2023 answer text <p>We recognise that Myanmar's gas extraction sector is a vital source of revenue for the military. We are unaware of any British companies providing services to this sector. Since the military coup in Myanmar, the UK has led international efforts to reduce the military's access to revenue, arms and equipment. To prevent the military from profiting off natural resource extraction, we have imposed extensive sanctions on the regime and its associated businesses. We have also strengthened our Overseas Business Risk Guidance, to warn companies of the risks associated with Myanmar's extractive sector. We will continue to do all we can to cut the military's access to revenue, through both sanctions and non-sanctions measures.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 09/02/2023 16:51:50 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
