Liz Truss misled committee over Gulf human rights, MP claims

Chris Bryant says Truss attempted to pull wool over our eyes' about raising rights with Gulf leaders

• Politics latest - live

The Labour MP Chris Bryant has accused Liz Truss of apparently misleading the Commons foreign affairs committee by saying she had personally raised human rights issues with Gulf leaders, but then not producing evidence of this when asked.

Challenging Truss about an appearance before the committee in June, when she was still foreign secretary, Bryant said in a letter that it was difficult not to conclude that you have deliberately misled the committee" rather than owning up to a mistake.
