Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what plans he has to support the repatriation of vulnerable UK travellers in Spain during the covid-19 outbreak.

We have been working hard to help as many British Nationals (BNs) as possible return home, working with tour operators, airlines, local authorities and other diplomatic missions. Our efforts have enabled more than 200,000 BNs to fly home from Spain. The Spanish Government has ensured that some hotel accommodation remains available and although availability is very limited, commercial flights are still operating. Our Embassy continues to provide consular support to those remaining BNs who wish to return, including advice on medical support and financial assistance. The new loan scheme has made it easier for BNs to access financial support when booking onto flights.
