Select Committee · Foreign Affairs Committee
The UK’s sanctions strategy
Status: Open
Opened: 27 Jan 2025
Inquiry scope
The Foreign Affairs Committee is seeking written evidence on sanctions scrutiny. The Committee will be considering whether Parliament should have greater oversight of the UK’s sanctions policy, and if so, how that scrutiny can be undertaken to best effect, bearing in mind the balance between the need for expediency and the need to ensure sanctions have clearly defined aims that align with wider foreign policy goals. This short inquiry will seek to establish how scrutiny could improve the effectiveness of the UK’s autonomous sanctions regimes including aims, cost-benefit analysis and delisting.Oral evidence sessions
