The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 29 May 2026 to Question 2052 on Sanctions, whether the Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation has granted any licences relating to sanctioned Russian individuals and expenditure on public affairs since July 2024.

Answered by Rachel Blake

The Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI) can only issue licences where specific licensing grounds exist within the relevant sanctions regime and where the conditions of those grounds are satisfied. It is not able to provide a breakdown of the purposes for which individual licences have been issued.

Information on the number of licences issued by financial year is published in OFSI's Annual Reviews, available at: OFSI Annual Reviews - GOV.UK
