HM Treasury and OFSI have been at the front and centre of an unprecedented financial sanctions response. Russia’s unprovoked and unwarranted attack on a sovereign nation brought war back to Europe.

The government has recognised this and strengthened OFSI’s powers to enforce financial sanctions as well as its resources. For Information on the staffing of OFSI at the end of 2021, I refer the rt hon Member to the answer given on 18 March 2022 to PQ UIN 138101. Information on OFSI staff numbers at end 2022 is available in the OFSI 2022 Annual review available here :
