Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what action they are taking following the findings of the UN Panel of Experts on North Korea in March that “Ports and airports in North Korea were being used for rampant violations” of UN Security Council resolutions and sanctions, involving at least 89 calls by fuel tankers at North Korean ports involving illegal imports of oil, coal, and bulk cash.

We keep a close track of North Korean sanctions implementation and respond robustly when there is evidence of sanctions breaches. We are active in working with and lobbying, where necessary, international partners to ensure that all relevant UN Security Council resolutions in respect of North Korea are fully and effectively implemented.
