Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether he has had discussions with his counterpart in Mexico on recent changes to judicial appointments.

Democracy and respect for the rule of law are at the heart of the UK's values. We are closely monitoring Mexico's constitutional reforms and how they will be implemented in secondary legislation. Our Embassy in Mexico regularly engages with the Mexican Government to underline the importance of strong institutions and the importance of independent courts and the rule of law.
