Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what assessment her Department has made of the potential merits of banning the import of all luxury goods containing raw materials sourced from Russia following that country's invasion of Ukraine.
In lockstep with our allies, we are introducing the largest and most severe package of economic sanctions that Russia has ever faced. This includes the ban on exporting certain luxury goods in the Russia (Sanctions) (EU Exit) (Amendment) (No.8) Regulations 2022, laid on 14th April.
We do not speculate on future sanctions.
