Lord Alton of Liverpool (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 15 October 2024

Debate

Russia (Sanctions) (EU Exit) (Amendment) (No. 3) Regulations 2024

Contribution

I am grateful to the Minister for giving way. He will have seen that President Zelensky’s spokesman said earlier this week that 60% of the components in the weaponry and missiles that are being so brutally used against Ukraine were made in the People’s Republic of China. He referred also to the presence of North Korean soldiers and munitions in Ukraine. What can we do to apply greater sanctions on those nations that, certainly in the case of China, still have many economic and financial links with the United Kingdom? Is there a way in which we can apply leverage through sanctions on them?
