Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the terms of sanctions that apply to Roman Abramovich on Chelsea FC, whether the that football club can pay invoices due for payment to suppliers of services.

The licence permits Chelsea FC to make payments to third parties in respect of prior obligations, including contracts signed before 10 March 2022, except where those payments would be made to Roman Abramovich or another designated person.
