Yes, I do agree with my noble friend on that.
Lord Purvis of Tweed (LD)
My Lords, the Minister has repeated today that we have been the only Five Eyes country to have a diplomatic presence in Caracas. The Minister told me last night in the House that the British Government were not informed prior to the US bombing Caracas, where our diplomatic presence is very close to where those bombs landed. Have we complained diplomatically to our ally, the United States, about this?
Baroness Chapman of Darlington (Lab)
Our team in Caracas is now out of crisis mode. They are back working; I have received updates from them today and I will continue to do so. They are safe and well and doing their jobs ably, as they have been able to do for the last few years.
