Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to prevent the flow of aviation fuel to the Myanmar military, following the airstrike on a school in Sagaing region on 12 May.

The recent airstrike on a school in Sagaing was devastating. On 13 May, the Minister for the Indo-Pacific called for all parties, particularly the Myanmar military, to refrain from airstrikes, safeguard civilians, and protect civilian infrastructure. In October 2024, the UK issued its 19th round of sanctions, targeting companies involved in the procurement of aviation fuel and equipment to the Myanmar armed forces. The UK remains committed to targeted sanctions, which directly impact the military without harming the wider population.
