Written Question
Myanmar: Sanctions
Tuesday 20th May 2025

Asked by: Baroness Cass (Crossbench - Life peer)

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what further sanctions or other actions they are taking against the government of Myanmar, in response to the bombing of healthcare facilities following the recent earthquake.

Answered by Baroness Chapman of Darlington - Minister of State (Development)

We condemn the Myanmar military's continued use of airstrikes against civilians and civilian infrastructure, including healthcare facilities. We are particularly concerned by reports that the military has continued to attack healthcare facilities after the recent earthquake. Since the coup in 2021, the UK has announced ten sanctions specifically targeting the military's ability to procure aviation fuel.
