Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of seizing assets from Russians under the Government's sanctions programme for use as future war reparations to support Ukraine with the reconstruction of homes and infrastructure damaged by the Russian armed forces.

We are looking at how we can go further to crack down on illicit money in British property and maximise the pressure on the Putin regime. Our unprecedented package of sanctions decisively delivers the highest economic cost the Kremlin has ever seen. Our sanctions send a clear message that nothing, and no one, is off the table.
