Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they intend to offer to mediate between India and Pakistan to find a lasting and peaceful solution for Kashmir.


This question was answered on 3rd November 2016

​As the Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my Hon. Friend the Member for Reading West (Alok Sharma) said in the House of Commons on 18 October, the UK's long-standing position, held by successive Governments of all hues, is that it is for India and Pakistan to find a lasting resolution to the situation, taking into account the wishes of the Kashmiri people. It is not for the UK to prescribe a solution or act as mediator.
