Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, whether the Government has made representations to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and the Government of Saudi Arabia on the bombing of an Internally Displaced Person Camp in Hodeidah, Yemen, on 3 April 2018; and if he will make a statement.

​We regularly raise the importance of compliance with International Humanitarian Law (IHL) with Saudi Arabia at all levels. Both the Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary raised the issue with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia during his visit in March.

We take alleged violations of IHL very seriously. When allegations of IHL breaches have been made against Saudi Arabia, it is important that the Saudis, in the first instance, conduct conclusive investigations. The Saudi-led Coalition Joint Incidents Assessment Team has published 55 reports into particular incidents of concern, with the most recent published on 5 March 2018.
