Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 28 April 2025 to Question 47234 on Anzhelika Melnikava, whether he has had recent discussions with his international counterparts on the reported disappearance of Anzhelika Melnikava and her daughters.

As previously stated, I am concerned by reports of Angelika Melnikova's disappearance. Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office officials continue to follow the case closely. Our understanding is that her daughters are currently in Belarus with their father. As the situation regarding the circumstances of Ms Melnikova's disappearance remain unclear, I have not raised this with international counterparts.
