Written Question
Yemen: Peace Negotiations
Tuesday 14th May 2019

Asked by: Helen Whately (Conservative - Faversham and Mid Kent)

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

What diplomatic steps he is taking to support a peace process in Yemen.

Answered by Andrew Murrison

The security situation in Yemen is of great concern. Working with partners and agencies, we are monitoring developments and doing all we can to end the conflict. The UK has played a leading role in diplomatic efforts and will continue to do so. My Right Honourable Friend the Foreign Secretary visited Yemen in March. He also hosted a ministerial Quad meeting last month to discuss implementation of the Hodeidah agreement and next steps in the political process. I welcome reports over the weekend that the Houthis have begun their withdrawal from Hodeidah.I look forward to receiving independent verification from the UN and hearing the assessment of the UN Special Envoy during his briefing to the Security Council.
