Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, whether the Government plans to prohibit imports of Russian-made steel in the context of Russia's actions in Ukraine.

In lockstep with our allies, we are introducing the largest and most severe economic sanctions that Russia has ever faced, to help cripple Putin’s war machine. Following the G7 statement of Friday 11 March, the UK will deny Russia’s entitlement to Most Favoured Nation tariff access on key products, including steel.

As you know, we do not speculate on future sanctions. However, we have made clear that will continue to apply pressure on Putin’s regime.
