Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Jake Richards and Shockat Adam

Tuesday 19th May 2026 Commons Chamber

[Shockat Adam (Leicester South) (Ind)]

What assessment has the Minister made of the report concerning communication between the former Foreign Secretary, Lord Cameron, and the International Criminal Court prosecutor, Karim Khan, regarding the court investigation into war crimes in Gaza? What steps is he taking to uphold the independence of the international judicial institutions that we set up?

[Jake Richards]

Some of the matters that the hon. Member has raised are perhaps matters for the Foreign Secretary, rather than the Justice Secretary. As he said, we clearly always respect international law and the principle of the rule of law more generally.
