Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent assessment she has made of the safety of athletes during the Beijing Winter Olympic Games.
We have provided specific advice to the British Olympic Association, including in respect of security, Chinese law and society, to ensure Team GB are as well prepared as possible for the Winter Olympic Games in Beijing. We wish our athletes every success and they will continue to have our full support throughout the games. Officials in Beijing stand ready to provide consular assistance if needed.
