Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent representations he has made to his counterpart in Saudi Arabia on the spread of inaccurate information on the murder of Jamal Khashoggi by news verification services in Saudi Arabia.

​The Prime Minister spoke to King Salman of Saudi Arabia on 24 October and made clear that the current explanation lacks credibility. The Foreign Secretary also conveyed this message when he spoke to the Saudi Foreign Minister on Saturday 20 October. There remains an urgent need to establish exactly what happened on 2 October and thereafter.
