Asked by:
Sir John Hayes (Conservative)

We condemn in the strongest terms last week's appalling terror attack in Pulwama. The thoughts of the British Government are with the victims and their families. We are engaging the Governments of both India and Pakistan to encourage them to find diplomatic solutions and refrain from actions that could jeopardise regional stability. We are also working with the international community and through the UN Security Council to ensure that the perpetrators of the Pulwama attack are brought to justice.
