Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to comply with paragraphs 14 and 16 of UN Security Council Resolution 2321 (2016) to reduce the number of staff, and limit the number of bank accounts held by staff, based at the Embassy of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea in London.
The UK fully implements all measures contained in UN Security Council Resolutions (UNSCR). Diplomats serving in the Embassy of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in London are restricted to one bank account per person.
The presence of the DPRK Embassy in the UK allows us to deliver tough messages directly to the regime. In light of repeated violations of UNSCRs and North Korea's aggressive rhetoric, our bilateral relations are under constant review.
