Morocco: Overseas Investment

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, when the meeting agreed in principle between the Minister of State for the Middle East, North Africa, South Asia, Commonwealth and United Nations, the Moroccan Ambassador to the UK and representatives of British investors for Paradise Beach Golf Resort will take place.

Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) remains committed to helping all British investors affected by the failure of the Paradise Golf & Beach Resort (PGBR) development and will continue in its efforts to work with the Moroccan authorities to help them receive the compensation to which they are entitled. On 11 February, I met the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Morocco to the United Kingdom and raised PGBR with him to encourage a satisfactory resolution to this longstanding issue. FCDO officials in London continue to raise the issue with their counterparts in the Embassy of the Kingdom of Morocco.
