Tyler Kerry
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps he is taking to help ensure a thorough investigation into the death in Turkey of Tyler Kerry.
Answered by Stephen Doughty
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has been providing consular support to Mr Kerry's family since 29 November. Due to relevant data protection legislation, we are unable to discuss the details of the support we are providing to Mr Kerry's family or our engagement with Turkish authorities. It is for local authorities to conduct investigations relating to deaths in their jurisdiction. With the consent of families, we can register our interest in investigations relating to British nationals and request updates on their scope and progress. Our sincere condolences and sympathies are with his family and friends at this difficult time.
