To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, with reference to paragraph 1.9 of his Department's consultation response, Public consultation on the United Kingdom's future legal framework for imposing and implementing sanctions: government response, published in August 2017, what recent assessment he has made of the adequacy of implementation of sanctions in UK Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies.

We work continuously with the Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies to ensure they implement sanctions in line with international obligations. We also work closely with the UN, the Financial Action Task Force and other international bodies to promote effective global compliance. As part of our consultation on a future sanctions framework for the UK, we consulted with the Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies and we remain in regular contact with them about the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Bill.
