Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office: Visits Abroad

Asked by Mike WoodConservativeForeign, Commonwealth and Development OfficeTabled Answered 25 June 2025UIN 57254

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether Government property was stolen during his disputed taxi journey from Italy to France.

Answered by Catherine West

No government property or material was stolen. The incident in question was reported to local Police authorities at the time and as far as we are aware is currently subject to an investigation, it would be inappropriate to discuss any matters regarding an ongoing case.
