Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how many staff in his Department are responsible for overseeing sanctions on sources of (a) revenue and (b) arms for the Burmese Military.

Sanctions Directorate has over 100 permanent staff delivering our global sanctions response. A large part of that figure includes staff that work flexibly across the all the UK's sanctions regimes, including Myanmar sanctions. This number does not include Myanmar-focused policy officials working on our wider strategy to constrain the regime's ability to access arms and finance which facilitate their campaign against the civilian population.
