Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to introduce sanctions on Burmese companies involved in the supply of aviation fuel to the military in Myanmar.

The UK has been at the forefront of the international sanctions response. Since 1 February 2021, the UK has worked quickly, in coordination with partners, to impose targeted sanctions on the junta. We have sanctioned the junta's ruling body and its military leadership, as well as key revenue streams for the military, including three State Owned Enterprises, a high profile business associate, the two largest military business conglomerates and defence entities which arm and equip the military.

We cannot speculate on future designations but we are looking at a range of further targets and measures. The UK is committed to targeted sanctions which directly impact the military without harming the wider population.
