<p>The Home Office works closely with policing partners to support requests from international
partners across the full spectrum of policing.</p><p>The Metropolitan Police counter-terrorism
command dispatched a team of specialists to Sri Lanka in 2019, including family liaison
officers, to support the families of British victims and assist with the repatriation
of deceased British nationals. A programme run by Interpol involved the training of
30 Sri Lankan forensic specialists and police officers by UK experts in disaster victim
identification. MPS has not deployed any officers in support of the Sri Lankan investigation
and will consider any request to support an overseas investigation where it is proportionate,
necessary and legal.</p>
