Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how parliamentarians can make referrals to the UK sanctions scheme.

Parliamentarians can engage with the Government via the usual means on information concerning possible designations, including by writing to the Foreign Secretary, or by contacting sanctions@fcdo.gov.uk. All designations will need to meet the legal tests as set out in the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018, which includes ensuring designations are underpinned by robust evidence.
