Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have held, if any, with the government of Myanmar concerning the imprisonment of former UK ambassador to Myanmar Vicky Bowman and her husband; and what further measures they intend to take in response.

Officials at the British Embassy in Yangon are in regular contact with Ms Bowman to check on her welfare and continue to maintain consular access. We are monitoring Ms Bowman's situation closely and will continue to support her, and her family, until the case is resolved. We will always act in the way that we judge is most appropriate in the case and in the best interests of Ms Bowman.
