Third Delegated Legislation Committee: The draft Syria (Sanctions) (EU Exit) (Amendment) Regulations 2026

Parliamentary debate

Parliament will scrutinise draft regulations that amend how the UK applies economic sanctions against Syria following Brexit. These regulations update the sanctions regime that was previously coordinated through EU law, now managed independently by the UK government. The committee will examine whether the powers and scope of the sanctions remain appropriate and effective.

Syria sanctions affect UK foreign policy leverage in the Middle East and demonstrate how Britain exercises autonomous sanctions authority post-Brexit. The regulations determine which Syrian individuals, entities, and sectors face asset freezes and trade restrictions, shaping the UK's response to the Assad regime's conduct.
