Saudi Arabia: Mass Execution

Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle Excerpts

Monday 14th March 2022 Lords Chamber

[The Earl of Courtown (Con)]

Luckily, I am not in his position, but I think I did answer the question asked by the noble Lord, Lord Collins. I said to him that, if such meetings happen in the future—I am sure there will be some in the immediate future—these issues will be raised at the highest level.

[Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle (GP)]

My Lords, will the Government publish a full report on the judicial and security assistance that the UK provides to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and can the Minister assure us now that none of that assistance played any role in the imposition or execution of these death penalties?

[The Earl of Courtown (Con)]

My Lords, the noble Baroness asks a very important question. I do not have any detail relating to that, so I will write to her.
