Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what discussions he has had with travel insurance providers on supporting UK nationals overseas who are in the extremely vulnerable category and advised to shield from coronavirus.

Following the change to date for answer of this PQ, I submitted a response by email on 27 March, with the following response. The Table Office have agreed this approach.

As the Foreign Secretary stated in the House on 24 March, we are prioritising the most vulnerable. We are in regular contact with the insurance industry to keep the information on our travel advice pages up to date, and continue to work with all partners to ensure that the most vulnerable passengers receive the help they require.
