Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the findings of the Civil Commission’s report 'Silenced No More: Sexual Terror Unveiled', published in May, particularly its conclusion that sexual and gender-based violence was used systematically during the 7 October 2023 attacks in Israel and subsequent hostage captivity; and what steps they are taking to support international efforts to investigate and prosecute such crimes under international law.

I refer the Noble Baroness to the answer provided on 8 June in response to Question HL462.
