To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to the Office of the US Director of National Intelligence report, Assessing the Saudi Government’s Role in the Killing of Jamal Khashoggi, published 11 February 2021, what assessment he has made of the role of Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman in the operation in Istanbul to capture or kill Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

The UK has always been clear that Khashoggi's murder was a terrible crime. We condemn his killing in the strongest possible terms, which is why we have evidenced by us sanctioning sanctioned twenty Saudi nationals involved in the murder under the global human rights regime.
