Asked by: Fiona Bruce (Conservative - Congleton)
Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if she will take steps to assist Congleton constituents who are confined in a locked-down apartment compound in Shanghai due to covid-19 restrictions and who want to return to the UK.
Answered by Amanda Milling - Government Whip, Lord Commissioner of HM Treasury
British nationals who require assistance in Shanghai should contact the British Consulate for assistance. For British nationals wanting to leave Shanghai there are commercial routes available and the British Consulate can arrange a letter of support for them to travel to the airport if this is required by their local community leader. Further information for British nationals living in China can be found at https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/china.
