Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the statement made by Diene Keita, a director of the United Nations Population Fund, on a reported mass killing of patients and their families at El Fasher Maternity Hospital in Sudan after the seizure of the city by the Rapid Support Forces; and what steps they are taking in response.

I refer the Noble Lord to the answers I gave in response to the Urgent Question on Sudan: Protection of Civilians, heard in the House of Lords on 4 November.
