Baroness Penn (Con)
I do not have that information and I would not comment on that. It is important to understand that this decision was clearly taken within the legal framework for sanctions that we have, which has been approved by this Parliament.
Earl Attlee (Con)
My Lords, will my noble friend take the views of this House directly to her right honourable friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer?
Baroness Penn (Con)
I can undertake to do that and to include the strength of feeling around the question of other tools that we have at our disposal. As my noble friend noted, this would also need to be drawn to the attention of other government Ministers.
