Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government why Russian companies supplying aircraft parts to the Myanmar military have been sanctioned while Chinese companies supplying jets have not.

Since the coup in February 2021, the UK has announced sanctions on 25 individuals and 39 entities under the Myanmar Sanctions Regulations, targeting the military's access to resources, funds and equipment. We keep all evidence and potential designations under close review, and it would not be appropriate to speculate about future sanctions as to do so could reduce their impact. The UK is clear that countries should not sell arms, including aircraft parts, to the Myanmar military.
