Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent steps he has taken to help ensure that the people convicted of the murder of people on Flight MH17 are brought to justice.

The conviction of three individuals in relation to the downing of Flight MH17 is an important step in securing justice for the victims and their families. We thank the Dutch authorities and the Joint Investigation Team for their work on this complex case. The downing of MH17 was a violation of international norms, which keep our societies safe, and serves as a reminder of the human cost of Russia's actions in Ukraine over many years. The UK Government will continue to support the Dutch authorities in their efforts to ensure those responsible are held to account.
