The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of banning imports of oil products from refineries using Russian crude.

The UK has worked closely with international partners to constrain Russian oil revenues while maintaining energy market security. The Government does not speculate on future sanctions measures as to do so could reduce their impact. We continue to monitor the effectiveness of our sanctions.
