	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/03/2016 answer text <p>We are aware of reports of the execution of General Ri Yong-gil, the Chief of Staff of the Korean People’s Army, on Wednesday 10 February 2016. Due to the closed nature of the regime in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), we cannot verify the accuracy of these reports. The UK, working with the EU and Japan, has ensured that annual UN resolutions consistently call on the DPRK to end its use of the death penalty and adhere to international standards on judicial procedures. We also use our diplomatic relations to raise our concerns directly with North Korea officials in London and Pyongyang.</p> answering member constituency East Devon answering member printed Mr Hugo Swire question first answered 16/03/2016 16:43:51 answering member 1408 label Biography information for Lord Swire
