The Foreign Secretary spoke to Saudi Foreign Minister Al-Jubeir on 16 August and urged a quick and transparent investigation. I also spoke to the Saudi Foreign Minister on 4 September.

On 1 September, the Coalition announced the outcome of this investigation, their regret and action to address the recommendations of that investigation. We welcome this acknowledgement and these steps.
