PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Trade in Torture etc Goods (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (11 April 2019)

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, with reference to the Trade in Torture etc. Goods (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, what the Government’s proposed penalties are for breaching those regulations.

Asked by:
Judith Cummins (Labour)

These Regulations are made to address inoperabilities and deficiencies of retained EU law arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the EU and to ensure EU-derived domestic export control legislation operates effectively post-exit. Maximum penalties for breaches of retained Regulation 2019/125 would continue to be the same as the penalties for breaches of the existing EU regulation, namely 10 years imprisonment and an unlimited fine.
