Oil: Imports

Asked by Martin WrigleyLiberal DemocratDepartment for Business and TradeTabled Answered 7 March 2025UIN 34421

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether his Department has plans to ban the importation of oil products produced from Russian crude oil.

Answered by Mr Douglas Alexander

The UK has worked closely with international partners to constrain Russian oil revenues while maintaining global energy supply and security, protecting critical supply chains, and maintaining the stability of global markets. 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.
