California: British Nationals Abroad
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what estimate he has made of the number of British nationals resident in areas of California affected by wildfires.
Answered by Stephen Doughty
Firstly, I extend my sincere condolences to all those affected by the wildfires. We encourage British nationals in Los Angeles and the surrounding areas to follow the guidance of the local authorities for the latest advice and continue to check FCDO travel advice for information. The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) does not hold information on the numbers of British Nationals affected by the wildfires as the UK Government does not require British nationals to register with the nearest British Embassy or High Commission when overseas. The FCDO stands ready to provide consular support to British nationals abroad 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
