Stephen Doughty is confirmed as the Minister of State for Europe, North America and Overseas Territories at the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO). The case concerns Holly Woodcock, a 20-year-old British student who died in France in August 2024, whose family has been seeking answers about the investigation. Public evidence corroborates that Doughty has already been actively engaged with the family: 1. The Foreign Office issued a statement confirming: "We are supporting the family of a British woman who died in France in 2024. Minister for Europe, Stephen Doughty, has also spoken to members of Holly's family." (reported by The Sun and The Scottish Sun) 2. The MP who raised the case, Daniel Francis, stated in Parliament at PMQs on 3 June 2026: "I'm grateful that the foreign office minister met with me and Mr. Woodcock," confirming a face-to-face meeting took place between Doughty, the MP, and Holly's father. 3. Daniel Francis also noted: "I have been supporting the family since August 2024" and "I will continue to do so," and said he shared the family's concerns that the government should do more. The claim that Doughty "is ready to support" the family is directly corroborated by the fact that he has already spoken to family members, met with the MP and Holly's father, and the Foreign Office has confirmed active support is being provided. There is no public evidence contradicting this assertion. While the family has expressed frustration that more hasn't been done to press French authorities, the specific claim about Doughty's readiness to support the family is accurate.
