Asked by Sir Andrew MitchellConservativeForeign, Commonwealth and Development OfficeTabled Answered 4 November 2024UIN 11229

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what discussions he has had with the European Union on distributing the proceeds generated from the sale of Chelsea FC to support the victims of the invasion of Ukraine.

Answered by Stephen Doughty

The UK Government continues to hold discussions with the European Commission, as part of our efforts to ensure the proceeds from the sale of Chelsea FC reach humanitarian causes in Ukraine as quickly as possible, in line with the UK's unilateral declaration. The Government is fully committed to that position, as part of our iron-clad support for Ukraine.
