Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether in their consideration of the implications of the disappearance of Jamal Khashoggi for British-Saudi Arabian relations they intend to take into account the allegations of illegal abductions of Saudi citizens to Saudi Arabia that were reported by the BBC in August 2017.

​We await the outcome of the investigations into the disappearance of Mr Khashoggi. We are treating this incident very seriously. The UK response will be based on the outcome of a credible, transparent investigation.
