Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
What steps his Department is taking to ensure the adequacy of the advice available to mountaineers and explorers visiting remote areas overseas.
Our foreign travel advice covers 225 countries and territories. For many countries or regions that are popular with mountaineers and explorers, such as the Arctic, we include specific information on travel to remote areas. Travellers can use this alongside specialist advice from other sources to plan a safe and healthy trip, and we always recommend travellers take out appropriate insurance.
