Written Question
Belarus and Russia: Iron and Steel
Wednesday 15th February 2023

Asked by: Stephen Doughty (Labour (Co-op) - Cardiff South and Penarth)

Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what assessment she has made of the reliability of allegations that third party countries have been re-stamping steel products from Russia and Belarus for import into the UK market.

Answered by Nigel Huddleston - Shadow Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport

Over £20bn of UK-Russia trade is now under sanctions, with a 99.1% reduction in UK goods imports from Russia compared to before the invasion.

The Government is committed to ensuring that third countries are not used by Russia to evade sanctions and takes such allegations seriously. We are working together with our international partners to stop any attempts to circumvent sanctions measures through third party countries. Anyone who directly or indirectly imports prohibited Russian iron or steel products – or facilitates its shipment to other countries from Russia – faces a heavy fine or imprisonment.

Transgender Conversion Therapy

"I totally agree with my honourable friend. He will know that Galop also found that trans and non-binary people face a higher level of sexual violence than other members of the LGBT+ community, and it was designed to convert them from their gender identity. That is the reality of what …..."

Gender Recognition Act

"I wholeheartedly agree.

I will end on this reflection—no doubt, I will receive criticism and abuse online as a result. I have spoken out in this place about the conduct of a number of newspapers and others reporting the stories. I had the displeasure a few years ago of visiting …..."

Sale of Arms: War in Yemen

"The Government’s policy seems to be one of abject hypocrisy. The Minister has made a false distinction between the sanctions on individuals and wider policy, which is simply not possible.
