Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential impact on security for the diaspora Burmese community in the UK of the continuous presence of the Myanmar military attaché in the UK.

As a matter or long-standing policy, the Government does not comment on the detail of security or intelligence matters.

The Government takes potential risks to communities in the UK, including those from Myanmar, very seriously. I would encourage anyone who feels that they are under threat to contact the police in the first instance.
