Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of extending beyond six months the repayment period for emergency repatriation loans.

We recognise that this crisis will have had a significant financial impact on people who have found themselves overseas for a longer period than planned or have faced cancellations. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office will work with British nationals to ensure we agree flexible repayment plans tailored to individual circumstances.
