Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Prime Minister, with reference to the report of the Intelligence and Security Committee, UK Lethal Drone Strikes in Syria, published on 26 April 2017, what assessment she has made of the compatibility of that Committee's investigation with the procedural obligations flowing from Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

The Intelligence and Security Committee is an independent body of Parliament which is a crucial part of the intelligence oversight system. How it conducts its investigations is a matter for the committee. The Government will respond to the report once a new committee has been formed.
