The UK has removed duplicate entries from its sanctions lists, consolidating them under a single authority. Existing sanctions remain unchanged.
LONDON, Dec 17 (Reuters) - Britain removed duplicate entries from some of its sanctions lists on Wednesday, the government said in a notice, as it moves to consolidate its designations under a single authority.
