Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what discussions she has had with representatives of the insurance industry in the UK on the activities of that industry that fund the Myanmar military.

The UK Government is clear that UK businesses must fully comply with relevant sanctions and not enter relationships that benefit the military. Businesses should consult the Department for International Trade's Overseas Business Risk Guidance for further information (Overseas Business Risk: Myanmar (Burma) - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)).
