Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what arrangements are in place for UK police forces to investigate criminal suspects in Northern Cyprus.

The UK does not recognise the so-called "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus." There are no arrangements in place for police forces in England and Wales to investigate criminal suspects in the northern part of Cyprus.

It would be inappropriate to comment on any matter relating to this case as this is the subject of ongoing UK-based court appeals.

Decisions to deploy police officers abroad to investigate criminal offences are operational matters for chief officers and the relevant authorities involved.
