Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Ranil Jayawardena and Andrew Bowie

Thursday 15th April 2021 Commons Chamber

[Mr Jayawardena]

We are adopting a targeted approach to this issue, to make sure that we address the violations of rights and responsibilities. We have designated individuals and entities that have been involved in such violations. This is a smart tool, carefully targeted to achieve its goals, while minimising potentially negative wider impacts. It is not designed with a view to imposing sanctions on sectors within countries, for example.
