Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether his Department has had discussions with UK P&I Club on insuring vessels delivering aviation fuel to Myanmar.

On 31 January the UK sanctioned two companies and two individuals responsible for supplying the military regime with aviation fuel. We have also updated our Overseas Business Risk Guidance to make it clear UK businesses should conduct thorough supply chain due diligence to ensure commodities, such as aviation fuel, do not reach the Myanmar military.

We have not had any specific meetings with the UK P&I Club on Myanmar, but we maintain regular contact with insurance providers to understand the market and update them on policy announcements.
