We regularly submit formal requests to the Kenyan Government, asking for the toxicology report to be released, and did so most recently on 24 January 2018. We raised Mr Ryalls' case with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on 4 March 2018 and we will continue to do so on behalf of his family and the UK coroner.
