Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, on what date he was notified of the August 2026 removal of an officer accused of possessing indecent images from the US Embassy in London.

The US Embassy informed the UK Government on 25 August that the individual had been returned to the US that day. The Metropolitan Police are liaising with US law enforcement, and the Government remains in close contact with the US Embassy, including at Ministerial level. As legal proceedings are ongoing, it would not be appropriate to comment further at this stage.
