Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether she plans to widen export limits of luxury goods to and from Russia.
We have already implemented a set of measures to strengthen significantly our trade restrictions against Russia. On 28 February we legislated to ban the export of all dual-use list items to Russia. We have also prohibited the export of a range of high-end and critical technical equipment and components in sectors including electronics, telecommunications, and aerospace. These measures will have strategic impact, constraining Russia's military-industrial and technological capabilities for years to come. However, nothing is off the table. We are working with our international partners to identify further areas where concerted action will have a maximum impact on Putin's regime.
