About this statute

An appropriate Minister may make sanctions regulations for certain purposes, and those regulations must state their purpose(s). This part defines key sanctions terms and gives Ministers and prescribed persons powers and procedures for designations, EU sanctions lists, ship-related enforcement, and review requests. This part defines key terms for sanctions and freezing rules, gives Ministers and the Secretary of State powers to set commencement and extend provisions, and requires a written statement if a report-laying duty is missed. This provision amends earlier legislation to create an exception for certain proceedings, update the meaning of “financial sanctions legislation,” remove sections 152 to 156, and make a wording correction in Schedule 3. This part lists later amendments, commencements, extensions, insertions, omissions, and substitutions affecting sections and schedules of the Act.
