Foreign travel is a vital part of diplomacy. It is in the national interest that the Foreign Secretary and other Ministers travel abroad to pursue UK interests. Value for money is taken into account in all travel decisions.

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, how many British nationals requested consular assistance in East Timor in each of the last five years.
Answered by Anne-Marie Trevelyan
The British Embassy in Indonesia provides remote consular support to British Nationals in Timor-Leste. Our current case management system does not enable us to isolate all consular assistance cases from within East Timor. British Nationals planning to visit or already in Timor-Leste can visit the FCDO travel advice pages for Timor-Leste and sign up to email alerts.
