Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon on 30 April (HL3810), where the register detailing which ambassadors have accepted offers of gifts or hospitality to attend F1 races in the last three years in each of the Gulf States can be accessed; and whether the register identifies which races they attended, and who offered the gift and hospitality.

Registers for gifts and hospitality are held locally at each FCDO Embassy. These registers are not publicly released.

The FCDO expects all members of staff to maintain the highest standards of propriety and regularity at all times in line with the Civil Service Code and the Diplomatic Service Code.
