Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many individuals have had financial sanctions imposed on them for expected involvement in terrorism in each of the last five years; and how many of those individuals are British (a) citizens and (b) residents.

There are three counter-terrorism financial sanctions regimes in place in the UK: the UN Al Qaida sanctions regime implemented in the UK by way of EU Regulation 881/2002; the EU’s counter-terrorism regime under Common Position 931; and the UK’s domestic counter-terrorism regime under the Terrorist Asset Freezing etc. Act 2010. Information on the numbers of individuals upon whom sanctions have been imposed in each of the last five years is available from the Quarterly Reports to Parliament on the Operation of the counter-terrorism sanctions regimes.
