Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment he has made of reports of the use of pellet guns on Kashmiri children; and if he will make representations to his Indian counterpart in response to those reports.

We are concerned by reports of pellet gun use and in particular reports that children have been injured by pellet guns. We have raised concerns with the Indian Government. We call on all states to take preventive measures to protect children.
