Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether any progress has been made on investigations into complaints made by the families and loved ones of people killed aboard Malaysian Airlines flight 17 on 17 July 2014.

The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) have not recorded any official complaints concerning our actions while supporting the bereaved families of British nationals killed through the downing of MH17. There is an ongoing criminal trial being taken forward in the Netherlands where four people are facing charges relating to the murder of 298 people who were on the aircraft.

All grieving families, including the families of British nationals killed on the flight, have been given access to the information on the criminal proceedings. All the grieving families were asked if they would like to provide an impact statement to the court in writing, via video link or in person, which allowed those who participated to air their concerns directly to the court. FCDO Consular staff have provided support to the families of British nationals who were killed, if they wished to receive support.
