The Lord Speaker (Lord McFall of Alcluith)
I think we will proceed otherwise.
Baroness Meyer (Con)
My Lords, what specific steps will the Government take to work with our international partners to protect those eight individuals?
Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon (Con)
My Lords, we do work with our international partners, but we also ensure that particularly those under UK jurisdiction are fully protected. Individuals who may be at heightened risk are provided full support, including protective security guidance and other measures where necessary. I will not go into the specific details, but I assure my noble friend that we work with key partners to ensure that these protections are afforded not just in the United Kingdom but, as has been indicated by two noble Lords with their own concerns and those of their families, when they travel internationally.
