Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, whether the Government has sought information on or access to Rohingya people in detention for the purposes of assessing their situation; and if he will make a statement.

​The British Embassy is unable to access reliable figures detailing how many Rohingya are currently in detention in Burma. The Government has not made a specific request for access to Rohingya people in detention in Burma. The former Foreign Secretary made clear his concern about the persecution of the Rohingya people in his most recent conversation with State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi on 11 June.
