The Foreign and Commonwealth Office rarely sponsors regulations and has not been responsible for repealing any regulations in the last six months. It was responsible for revoking 11 Orders in Council relating to the implementation of sanctions measures in the overseas territories since July 2012. Since these measures did not apply in the UK, no cost savings for the UK are anticipated from these revocations.
