Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, pursuant to the Answer of 3 May 2023 to Question 182551 on Iron and Steel: Russia, and with reference to the Russia (Sanctions) (EU Exit) (Amendment) Regulations 2023, what plans her Department has to enforce the ban on Russian steel processed in third countries from September.

The UK has taken a leading role in an internationally coordinated approach to sanctions on Russia following its invasion of Ukraine, including through working together with international partners to tackle circumvention. This helps ensure sanctions have the maximum impact.

The Government is working across multiple departments and agencies to ensure the effective implementation and enforcement of UK sanctions. The Government will also support businesses to comply with the new iron and steel measures in the coming months.
