Speaker 4
Yeah. Yeah. Well, thank you, madam chair. It's a pleasure to serve under your, chairpersonship today, miss Harris, and I beg to move that the committee has considered the Syria sanctions EU exit amendment regulations 2026, and these amend the Syria sanctions EU exit regulations 2019. Chair, since the fall of the Assad regime in December 2024, The UK has engaged with and supported the new Syrian government to help build a secure, prosperous future for all Syrians.
The UK has long stood by the people of Syria and will continue to do so as they rebuild their country, clear in the knowledge that a stable Syria is firmly in the interests of the region and The UK. And this is why the prime minister welcomed Syrian president, Ahmad al Sharra, on his first visit to The UK on the March 31 this year. On the April 21, this government laid a statutory instrument in this house to amend the Syria sanctions regulations, and the instrument revoked specific UK sanctions measures on some sectors of the Syrian economy, namely on gold, diamonds, precious metals, and luxury goods, including cars. This action allows British companies to trade with and invest in these sectors in Syria. Sustained investment in these and other sectors supports British industry and Syria's economic recovery.
