In response to the announcement that charges should be brought in the Litvinenko murder case Lynne Featherstone, Hornsey and Wood Green MP said:

“At last, this is a serious step in the right direction. It should not be possible to murder a man in Britain without facing up to the law, no matter where you are from.

“Mr. Litvinenko was my constituent and I will continue to monitor the case closely to ensure that this case will be pursued without fear nor favour. Justice must be done.”
