Investigation called into Navalny death

MPs were set to discuss the death of the jailed Russian opposition leader when they returned to Parliament on Monday afternoon, as the Government weighs up its options for responding to the news.

Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron has already signalled that there could be fresh sanctions against Russian officials, amid questions for Russian authorities over how Mr Navalny died and a mounting chorus of Western voices holding Vladimir Putin responsible.

On Monday, Downing Street would not comment on possible future sanctions, but paid tribute to Mr Navalny and called for a full investigation.
