Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what progress his Department has made on its work to obtain justice for people on board flight MH17 which was downed over Ukraine in July 2014.

​The UK is a strong supporter of the international Joint Investigation Team (JIT)'s work to ensure that those responsible for the downing of MH17 face prosecution. The JIT recently published an initial report providing clear evidence that the missile was Russian-made, and launched from within territory held by Russian-backed separatist groups at the time. We have encouraged Russia to engage constructively with the findings, the ongoing investigation, and any resulting attempts to prosecute those found to be responsible.
