Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, pursuant to Answer of 16 May to Question 184715 on Sudan: British Nationals Abroad, how many British children in Sudan were his Department’s Assessed Person ID list ; and how many of those children were evacuated.

Since 25 April, the UK has supported the departure of 2,450 people, including British nationals, dependants, and other eligible nationals out of Sudan. At that time we were aware of around 800 children or minors on our records, not all of whom were eligible to travel or were able to reach the evacuation points in time. We were able to assist an estimated 476 British children to leave Sudan and are aware of a further 300 children since confirmed as having safely left Sudan.
