Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what assessment he has made of the compatibility of the conduct of Sri Lanka’s Defence Attaché, Brigadier Priyanka Fernando, at the High Commission on 4 February 2018 with the standard expected by his Department of diplomatic guests.
This question was answered on 1st March 2018
I was deeply concerned by the incident. The Defence Attaché has returned to Colombo from London while the incident is thoroughly investigated. I spoke to Foreign Minister Marapana on 8 February and he left me in no doubt that Sri Lanka also takes this incident very seriously.
