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.
The update, which does no affect any restrictions already in place, eliminated four duplicate listings under the Syria sanctions regime and one under the Iran nuclear sanctions regime.
All affected individuals and entities remained subject to sanctions under other regimes, including Iran, Iran Nuclear or Chemical Weapons, according to the government notice.
