To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to undertake, and report
on, an investigation into the government of Russia's alleged (1) use of poisoning
and assassination, (2) media manipulation, (3) abuse of Interpol procedures, and (4)
efforts to undermine international law and institutions in ways that are harmful to
UK security.
<p>We continue to challenge Russia's malign activity and abuse of the international
rules-based system and remain at the forefront of those opposing that abuse.</p><p>In
response to the attack in Salisbury, together with our allies, we coordinated the
largest ever collective expulsion of Russian intelligence officers, fundamentally
degrading Russian intelligence capability for years to come. We also challenge Russia's
actions in Ukraine, in Syria, the Western Balkans and in cyber space. The United Kingdom
is committed to playing a leading role in continuing sanctions against Russia. Sanctions
are one of a range of measures we have taken, in concert with others, to defend our
security and enhance our capabilities against Russia's malign activity.</p>
<p>The Government has not made an estimate of the number of Iraqis killed as a result
of terrorism and war-related violence since 2003. While the security situation in
Iraq has greatly improved since violence peaked in 2006-2007, Iraqi civilians have
been victim to Daesh’s atrocities since the summer of 2014. We utterly condemn such
violence and call for those responsible to be brought to justice. The UK is committed
to supporting the Government of Iraq as it works to defeat Daesh and put Iraq on the
path to long-term peace and stability.</p>
