To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what assessment he has made of the validity of reports of the Hellenic Coast Guard and border police using violent and dangerous methods to turn back refugees and migrants.

We are concerned by the situation on the Greek border, and we remain in close contact with the Greek authorities. We continue to work across government to explore where the UK can further support Greece to improve the conditions for migrants. We do, of course, oppose any actions that endanger human life.
