To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to strengthen the implementation of sanctions against Myanmar, and to consider further sanctions, particularly on aviation fuel, to prevent the supply of funds, fuels and arms to the government of that country.

The UK has issued eighteen rounds of sanctions targeting the Myanmar military regime's access to finance, arms and equipment. This includes six sanctions targeting the import of aviation fuel (three individuals and three entities). The UK continues to consider sanctions on entities and individuals who are involved in supplying the military regime with funding and resources. The UK remains committed to sanctions that directly impact the military regime without adversely affecting the wider population. This will be a key consideration in any future designations.
