Henry Bellingham – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Henry Bellingham on 2015-01-14.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, when he next plans to discuss co-operation on security issues with his counterpart in the Pakistan government; and if he will make a statement.

Mr Tobias Ellwood

We discuss co-operation on security issues with the Pakistan government and military regularly at the highest level, and will continue to do so. I will be seeing the Pakistani PM next week to continue these discussions in the wake of the Peshawar attack.

We have made clear that the UK stands shoulder to shoulder with Pakistan following the horrific terrorist attack on a school in Peshawar.
