Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to seek to establish an independent inquiry into the deaths of (1) migrants, and (2) refugees, from exposure to the cold on the frontier between Turkey and Greece.

We engage closely with international partners on a 'whole of route' approach to addressing the challenges of irregular migration and are committed to supporting international efforts to manage migration effectively, including dismantling the criminal gangs encouraging migrants to make such dangerous journeys. We urge all sides to uphold international law and international human rights standards and to avoid any actions that may endanger human life.
