​I have been following recent developments in Egypt carefully and have been receiving regular updates. I note the international attention former President Morsi's death has attracted and await with interest the results of the independent medical report ordered by the Egyptian Prosecutor General into the causes and circumstances.

Prison conditions is one of our human rights priorities in Egypt. We raise the issue of family visits regularly with the Egyptian authorities, most recently in May.

Egypt is a human rights priority country for the UK, and we monitor the situation closely. We continue to voice our concerns, including in our recent statement at the UN Human Rights Council on 12 March and in our Human Rights Report, released on 5 June. In particular, prison conditions are one of our three human rights priorities in Egypt. We raise access to medical care and solitary confinement regularly with the Egyptian Government.

The British Government remains concerned about the sentencing to death of former President Morsi. On 17 May the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my hon. Friend the Member for Bournemouth East (Mr Ellwood), raised the case with the Egyptian Ambassador in London.

We have emphasised that it is vital that any judicial decisions are objective, transparent, and in accordance with the law. There are further stages in the legal process and we will continue to raise this issue with the Egyptian government.

We are deeply concerned by the sentencing to death of former President Morsi and over 100 others. The UK Government has responded to these sentences in a number of ways, as given in my answer of today (PQ 4375). We have no plans to impose formal sanctions as part of this response.

I raised our concerns over the sentencing to death of former President Morsi with the Egyptian Ambassador in London on 17 May. I also issued a statement on 17 May, setting out the Government's deep concern at the sentencing to death of former President Morsi and over 100 others.

Foreign and Commonwealth Office officials have also discussed this case with representatives of the Egyptian government.

We have been clear that the Egyptian authorities must apply the rule of law consistently in line with international standards, and protect the political and legal rights of all Egyptians as the basis for the country’s future stability. It is the long-standing policy of the Government to oppose the death penalty in all circumstances as a matter of principle. We note that there are further stages in the legal process, and will continue to follow this case closely.
