Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure that the open routes to Kabul airport remain safe to travel through.

Conditions on the ground remain extremely challenging but we are doing everything we can to manage the situation as safely and securely as possible. We aim to bring out hundreds of British nationals, diplomats and Afghan interpreters a day. We are in close contact with our partners and allies about the security situation, including working with the US to help ensure the security and viability of the airport.
