The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, pursuant to the Answer of 4th March to Question 116233, if he will clarify (a) the timeline for introducing secondary legislation and (b) whether it will apply to all Common High Priority List items.

Answered by Chris Bryant

We expect to lay secondary legislation to deliver the sanctions end-use control this Spring, subject to the Parliamentary timetable.

The sanctions end-use control is intended to apply to exports which are not already subject to strategic export controls, where a risk of circumvention to a sanctioned destination is identified. The full scope of this measure and details on its application and implementation will be set out in guidance upon laying the legislation.
