Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what formal and informal discussions his Department had with the US administration before the UN Security Council Resolution 2334 (2016) vote was taken.

​The resolution was an Egyptian draft and not UK co-sponsored. The UK engaged with security council members before the UN Security Council Resolution 2334 (2016) vote, as we do with all Security Council products. Where we did engage we worked to secure a balanced text that includes calls to end incitement and terrorism .
