Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, whether staff from his Department have attended the trial of Mr Richard de Wit in Kashmir.

Consular staff have provided full consular support to the family of Sarah Groves who was tragically murdered in Kashmir. Given the exceptional nature of this case, this has included accompanying them to court in Kashmir and attending key stages in the trial of Richard De Witt, the Dutch national accused of her murder.
