On 28 May the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapon Director General confirmed all evidence and views were considered in preparing the FFM report. The Technical Secretariat stands by the findings and we continue to have confidence in both our own and the FFM’s conclusions about this attack.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 17/06/2019 14:12:32 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
