Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps, if any, they have taken to ascertain that information received from the Embassy of Bahrain is factually correct, in the light of reports of misleading statements being made by the Embassy regarding a meeting held with Amnesty International in November 2017.

The British Government has regular conversations with the Government of Bahrain, both in Manama and through the Bahraini Embassy in London. Any information passed to us through these channels is regarded as official.
