Sanctions

Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 February 2022. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Sanctions.

I have to agree with my right hon. Friend about the limitations of the sanctions on those individuals. However, does he agree that if the regulations’ definition of “involved person”, especially the reference to being

“involved in…obtaining a benefit from or supporting the Government of Russia”,

is interpreted widely with the right political will, it could take in a lot of individuals who have a lot of money salted in the UK, including a lot of the oligarchs who have property or other interests here?
