Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the report by the United States' Office of the Director of National Intelligence Assessing the Saudi Government’s Role in the Killing of Jamal Khashoggi, declassified on 26 February, and what discussions they have had with the government of Saudi Arabia about the conclusions of that report.

The UK has always been clear that Khashoggi's murder was a terrible crime. We condemn his killing in the strongest possible terms, which is why we have sanctioned twenty Saudi nationals involved in the murder under the global human rights regime.

The Foreign Secretary raised the killing of Khashoggi during his visit to Riyadh last year, and we continue to raise it in our engagement with the Saudi government.
