Gemma Doyle (West Dunbartonshire) (Lab/Co-op)
The Prime Minister referred to an offer of assistance from the consulate. Can he advise whether it has yet been involved?
The Prime Minister
The consulate is involved. We have staff deployed in Algiers who want to travel further south to be closer to the events that have taken place and to help, in all ways necessary, the people caught up in this crisis. We are working very closely with BP, which will be doing the same thing, and with Statoil—I spoke to the Norwegian Prime Minister last night—which will be sending an aeroplane down there to help retrieve people as well.
