Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Nick Smith and Victoria Prentis

Wednesday 1st February 2023 Commons Chamber

[Nick Smith (Blaenau Gwent) (Lab)]

Will there be Russian war reparations to Ukraine, and how can the UK support that?

[The Attorney General]

At the moment, the international community is rightly focused on prosecuting war crimes. That is the right focus, as we hope that in so doing we will have a good effect on the behaviour of those fighting this conflict at the moment. We are undoubtedly starting to turn our minds to reparations, and there is a great deal of work going on within Government on how best to support the Ukrainians to do that. I know that the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy is very involved in that.
