Processed Russian Oil Products: Sanctions

Contribution

Sorry, the noble Lord is absolutely right, the licences are not time limited, but they are temporary and they will be reviewed regularly. It is our intention that these are temporary licences. This phased implementation of sanctions is common and standard practice. It is the approach that other allies—for example, Canada and Australia—have taken. The SI will go through the usual parliamentary process as it is implemented.
