Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what representations he has made to the Mexican government on the disappearance of students from their college in Guerrero on 26 September 2014.

We have been closely monitoring the recent tragic events in Guerrero and both Ministers and officials have raised the case with their Mexican counterparts. During the recent UK-Mexico High Level Political Talks in Mexico City, I personally highlighted the importance of a thorough and transparent investigation into the disappearance of the 43 students and the importance of ensuring that those responsible are brought to justice. We welcome the statements made by the Mexican government, promising that there will be no impunity for those responsible and stand ready to support.
