§ Angus RobertsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assistance his Department has(a) offered and (b) given to the Government of Somaliland in their investigation into the murder of Richard and Enid Eyeington; and if he will make a statement. [134723]
§ Mr. MullinOur consular staff in London, Addis Ababa and Nairobi are providing all proper consular assistance to the Eyeington family after this outrageous attack. Staff are also in contact with SOS Kindersdorf International. Our thoughts and condolences are with the family.
We welcome the commitment of the Somaliland authorities to track down the killers. We cannot undertake any direct investigatory work abroad. However, we are discussing with the Somaliland authorities the possibility of a visit by Scotland Yard detectives to assist with the investigation.
