Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to the Foreign Affairs Select Committee's Third Report of Session 2019–21, Flying Home: The FCO’s consular response to the COVID-19 pandemic (HC 643), whether he has plans in place to make travel advice for UK citizens abroad available and easily accessible for people without internet access.

The FCDO's travel advice is the primary source for passing travel advice to British nationals, and is amplified by our teams in the UK and overseas to ensure it reaches as many people as possible. This includes engagement with local journalists, honorary consuls and consular wardens where such networks exist. In addition to our travel advice, we provide a 24/7 telephone service for people to contact us if they do not have internet access.
