Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 May 2026

Debate

Processed Russian Oil Products: Sanctions

Contribution

My Lords, the support from this country for Ukraine has been steadfast and bipartisan, and I regret very much what we are seeing. I think Mr Putin will be delighted to see the attacks on what is going on now. We have been steadfast in our support for Ukraine, and I think we have had a bipartisan approach to minimising the impact of events in the Middle East on people and businesses in this country. Can my noble friend the Minister confirm what she has said: that the sanctions package overall is stronger, while providing businesses facing complex supply chain issues with temporary flexibility? Can she commit to keeping this under review, with the aim of fully implementing the new, stronger sanctions regime as quickly as can possibly happen?
