Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what further discussions he plans to have with his Cypriot counterpart on the misselling of mortgages by Alpha Panareti; and when those discussions will take place.

The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon. Friend the member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond) and I have raised property issues experienced by British nationals with the Cypriot Foreign Minister, Ioannis Kasoulides. The Foreign Secretary raised property issues with Mr Kasoulides whilst in Cyprus on 17 July 2015 and I raised the subject with Mr Kasoulides in London on 12 March. We will continue to raise property issues at appropriate times both at official and Ministerial level.
