Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how many British nationals have been the victims of homicide abroad in each of the last five years; and what assessment he has made of the case for appointing an Envoy for Complex Consular Homicides, given the recent appointment of an Envoy for Complex Consular Detentions.

The Terms of Reference for the UK Envoy for Complex Consular Detentions are published on GOV.UK. The Envoy's remit is limited to cases involving consular detention overseas and does not extend to non-detention consular cases.

We provide support to families bereaved by homicide through a specialist team in Consular and Crisis Directorate.
