We take very seriously allegations that detainees and civilians were killed in the attack and therefore welcome the Saudi-led Coalition (SLC) referral of the incident to the Joint Incident Assessment Team and await its findings. The UK takes every opportunity to raise with Saudi ministers and senior leadership within the SLC the importance of International Humanitarian Law compliance, and of the need for speedy, thorough, independent investigation and reporting where violations are alleged.</strong></p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 07/10/2019 15:59:39 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison
