The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what criteria he plans to use to assess the effectiveness of the Syria (Sanctions) (EU Exit) (Amendment) Regulations 2025.

Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer

The amendments to the Syria Sanctions Regulations are intended to help Syrian economic recovery and support the flow of essential investment. This is vital for building stability in Syria and the wider region. We will continue to closely monitor the situation in Syria and engage with the Syrian Government, civil society, and our international partners on the impact of sanctions amendments. We will keep our Syria sanctions regime under review.
