question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, if he will make representations to the Government of Malta on establishing a public inquiry to determine what the Maltese authorities (a) knew and (b) ought to have known of the real and immediate risk to the life of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2019 answer text <p>​I share the right honourable member's concern to see justice in the case of Daphne Caruana Galizia. The decision to establish a public inquiry is, nevertheless, a matter for the Maltese Government, who have said that a parliamentary inquiry could take place once the ongoing judicial process has been concluded. The UK is committed to the defence of the freedom of expression and the Foreign Secretary has launched a Media Freedom campaign on this very issue, and is keen to work with all international partners to support the safety and protection of journalists worldwide.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 12/03/2019 17:01:23 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2019 answer text <p>​We have repeatedly raised our concerns about the proposed Turkish purchase of S-400 missiles, at Ministerial and official level. Turkey is a valued NATO ally, on the front line of some of the UK and the Alliance's most difficult security challenges. Defence equipment procurement decisions are for nations, but all NATO allies have committed to reducing their dependence on Russian-sourced legacy military equipment. The proposed purchase would pose real challenges for the interoperability of NATO systems.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 12/03/2019 15:04:12 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan
