Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, whether he plans to take steps to ensure that the British company Lonmin is held accountable for the loss of life at its mine in Marikana in August 2012.

​In 2012 the South African Government established the Marikana Commission of Inquiry (also known as the Farlam Commission) to ascertain the facts surrounding the events at Lonmin mine. Following recommendations made by the Farlam Commission, the British Government sought assurances from Lonmin that the human rights of employees were upheld.
