Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent representations he has made to Saudi counterparts on the humanitarian situation in Yemen and access for humanitarian supplies from the port of Hodeidah.

We continue to urge all parties, including the Saudi authorities, to get behind the UN-backed peace process – this is the only way to achieve lasting peace, security and stability in Yemen. The UK and Saudi Arabia will continue to strengthen the UN Verification and Inspection Mechanism to ensure that all Yemeni ports can remain fully open to commercial and humanitarian supplies.
