What did the British PM say?
In response to the BBC, the British PM said, “He feels that Andrews himself should talk to the UK police. This is a matter for the police. They will do their own investigation but one principle of our system is clear that the law is equal for all and no one can be above it. In this case also it should be applied in the same way as it is in other cases.”
MPs free to discuss
