| 25 Feb 2026 | Business and Trade Sub-Committee on Economic Security, Arms and Export Controls — Oral Evidence (2026-02-25) “That is right.” | 3 |
| 25 Feb 2026 | Business and Trade Sub-Committee on Economic Security, Arms and Export Controls — Oral Evidence (2026-02-25) “Just to be clear, you will know that in many instances what HMRC moves towards is a compound settlement, but it would not do that in relation to the issues you are talking about, because that would be a case of deliberate evasion, and then it would not use compound settlements.” | 51 |
| 25 Feb 2026 | Business and Trade Sub-Committee on Economic Security, Arms and Export Controls — Oral Evidence (2026-02-25) “A lot of Russian banks have already been sanctioned. From the very early days, there was a large amount of disinvestment in Russia, prompted by the sanctions regime that we had instituted. I have already referred to the fact that one of the effective facilitators of the shadow fleet is the insurance mechanism, and that…” | 136 |
| 25 Feb 2026 | Business and Trade Sub-Committee on Economic Security, Arms and Export Controls — Oral Evidence (2026-02-25) “We moved in October and December without the Americans, but with the EU.” | 13 |
| 25 Feb 2026 | Business and Trade Sub-Committee on Economic Security, Arms and Export Controls — Oral Evidence (2026-02-25) “I cannot remember where we are going on that. Where are we going on that? That is for the Foreign Office, I think.” | 23 |
| 25 Feb 2026 | Business and Trade Sub-Committee on Economic Security, Arms and Export Controls — Oral Evidence (2026-02-25) “I am happy to do that.” | 6 |
| 25 Feb 2026 | Business and Trade Sub-Committee on Economic Security, Arms and Export Controls — Oral Evidence (2026-02-25) “These are words that have been used—for that matter, so is “spring”. I hate to go back to Julie Andrews, but I have confidence that spring will come again.” | 29 |
| 25 Feb 2026 | Business and Trade Sub-Committee on Economic Security, Arms and Export Controls — Oral Evidence (2026-02-25) “I am afraid that you are not going to get any more out of me, Chair. It is not entirely my area of responsibility. We took a position in DBT that we were going to suspend some of the licences. The Foreign Office had made an adjudication that there was a real risk of Israel not abiding by international humanitarian law,…” | 137 |
| 25 Feb 2026 | Business and Trade Sub-Committee on Economic Security, Arms and Export Controls — Oral Evidence (2026-02-25) “It was.” | 2 |
| 25 Feb 2026 | Business and Trade Sub-Committee on Economic Security, Arms and Export Controls — Oral Evidence (2026-02-25) “In the end, the actual timing ends up being down to the Leader of the House and the Chief Whip.” | 20 |
| 25 Feb 2026 | Business and Trade Sub-Committee on Economic Security, Arms and Export Controls — Oral Evidence (2026-02-25) “I completely agree. We are taking that action, and it will happen very swiftly. I am always slightly hesitant about timetables because, in my 25 years in Parliament, I have never known a Minister manage to deliver a timetable for putting legislation on the statute books that they thought they could deliver. I do not kn…” | 64 |
| 25 Feb 2026 | Business and Trade Sub-Committee on Economic Security, Arms and Export Controls — Oral Evidence (2026-02-25) “Just to explain, HMRC has responsibility for any goods that cross in or out of the border, hence why HMRC is here. OFSI is also Treasury, OTSI is us in DBT, and sanctions policy lies with the Foreign Office.” | 39 |
| 25 Feb 2026 | Business and Trade Sub-Committee on Economic Security, Arms and Export Controls — Oral Evidence (2026-02-25) “It is sort of the equivalent of the diversion that we are trying to tackle, where we sell something from the UK to a third country and it then goes into Russia—there is another version, just as is there is with oil; that is why we are taking action on crude oil that is refined in other countries, which will similarly b…” | 138 |
| 25 Feb 2026 | Business and Trade Sub-Committee on Economic Security, Arms and Export Controls — Oral Evidence (2026-02-25) “Go on, Anna.” | 3 |
| 25 Feb 2026 | Business and Trade Sub-Committee on Economic Security, Arms and Export Controls — Oral Evidence (2026-02-25) “We are not—we have removed 99.6% of all imports. I can try to find out what the 0.4% is, if you want, but we have been about as comprehensive as possible. I have heard the comments made in previous debates about us relying on Russian oil and gas, but that is simply not the case.” | 55 |
| 25 Feb 2026 | Business and Trade Sub-Committee on Economic Security, Arms and Export Controls — Oral Evidence (2026-02-25) “Pharmaceuticals and foodstuffs.” | 3 |
| 25 Feb 2026 | Business and Trade Sub-Committee on Economic Security, Arms and Export Controls — Oral Evidence (2026-02-25) “Because it is effectively declaring our impotence in some regard, and it would also imply that we think we should sanction in this area but are choosing not to. I think it is an odd request, if I am honest.” | 40 |
| 25 Feb 2026 | Business and Trade Sub-Committee on Economic Security, Arms and Export Controls — Oral Evidence (2026-02-25) “I think that is one for HMRC. They are goods, so they are crossing a border, and therefore it is a question for Joanne.” | 24 |
| 25 Feb 2026 | Business and Trade Sub-Committee on Economic Security, Arms and Export Controls — Oral Evidence (2026-02-25) “It might be helpful if we wrote to you to tell you how much that happens.” | 16 |
| 25 Feb 2026 | Business and Trade Sub-Committee on Economic Security, Arms and Export Controls — Oral Evidence (2026-02-25) “I am not going to produce a list of things that we are not sanctioning—I think that would be a complete own goal.” | 23 |
