Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether (a) he and (b) the Secretary of State for Defence visited the Commonwealth War Cemetery at Yokahama during their visit to Japan from 7 to 8 November 2023.

My Rt Hon Friends the Foreign Secretary and Defence Secretary did not visit the Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery in Yokohama during their visit to Japan from 7-8 November 2023.

As in previous years, British Embassy Tokyo will hold a Remembrance Day ceremony at the Cemetery on 12 November. We continue to pay our respects to all the fallen and wounded in all conflicts, including from the Commonwealth. This weekend, we will remember and honour the service and sacrifice made by our veterans and service personnel. We will never forget those who gave their lives defending our values and great nation.
