Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the death of George Floyd.
This question was answered on 9th June 2020
The Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary have been clear that the death of George Floyd was appalling, inexcusable and deeply distressing. We are aware that a suspect has been charged and there is a federal review underway. We would hope and expect justice to be done.
The violence we have seen is clearly very alarming. People must be allowed to protest peacefully - peaceful protest remains a vital part of a democratic society and we understand the strength of feeling around this issue.
