Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment has she made of the impact of UK sanctions on Russia on UK nationals living in the UK who receive pensions via Russian bank accounts.

The Government seeks to ensure sanctions measures are carefully targeted and avoid unintended consequences. Measures have been designed for the maximum impact on the Russian economy whilst protecting the financial stability and interests of the UK and its allies.
