Processed Russian Oil Products: Sanctions

Contribution

I really emphasise that this package of sanctions is stronger than it was. We have put in place stronger sanctions. The general licence in respect of oil products applies to two products only: jet fuel and diesel. We have made it clear, and I repeat, that these are intended to be temporary licences. They will be reviewed regularly. It is very common practice, as it was under the previous Administration, to introduce licences in these cases, so there is no unusual practice or anything out of line in the approach that we have taken. I will have to write to the noble Lord on his question on Section 55.
