Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the effect on the travel industry of continuing threat-level warnings in relation to travel to Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt.

The Government’s first priority is the safety and security of British citizens. The UK Government is fully focussed on enabling a return of flights Sharm el-Sheikh as soon as possible and appreciates the co-operation of the travel industry.
