Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, for what reason his Department (a) funded the repatriation of five Britons from Ukraine on 22 September and (b) did not fund the repatriation of the body of Paul Urey.

The FCDO cannot pay for repatriation following the death of a British national overseas. We aim to provide the best support we can to bereaved families who have lost loved ones overseas. Consular staff are available 24/7 to help families understand local processes and options, including for repatriation and emergency financial assistance. Our thoughts remain with Paul Urey's family.
