Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of imposing additional sanctions on (a) persons and (b) other entities involved in the violence between military groups in Sudan.

Our priority is to end the violence and de-escalate tensions. The UK Government keeps all sanctions regimes under review, however we do not speculate on future designations as to do so could reduce their impact.
