The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment her Department has made of the adequacy of resourcing for agencies enforcing the UK's sanctions regime.

Answered by Emma Reynolds

Resourcing decisions for the next 4 financial years are to be taken at the upcoming Spending Review, with this due for publication in June this year.

At Budget 2024, it was confirmed that the 2025-26 Settlement for HM Treasury ensures that sanctions implementation work will “continue to be supported through the Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI)”.
