British Nationals Abroad: Carbon Monoxide

Asked by Dr Al PinkertonLiberal DemocratForeign, Commonwealth and Development OfficeTabled Answered 25 February 2025UIN 902823

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether he has made an assessment of the potential merits of integrating carbon monoxide risks into country-based travel advisories.

Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer

We are now adding information to our dedicated page for independent travellers to highlight the risks of carbon monoxide poisoning globally. We will continue to include information about carbon monoxide in specific country travel advice where there is evidence of significant and enduring risk to British people. Currently that is China and Nepal. We keep this under regular review.
