Middle East: Armed Conflict

Asked by Bell Ribeiro-AddyLabourForeign, Commonwealth and Development OfficeTabled Answered 11 March 2026UIN 117877

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps she is taking to ensure that non-citizen UK residents currently in the Middle East will be included in any repatriation plans in the region.

Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer

I refer the Hon Member to the statement I gave to the House on 5 March, and the answers provided to questions raised in response. We will provide further such updates on a regular basis, including the details of any evacuation plans, but for now, our priority remains to secure an end to Iran's attacks on countries in the region, and the resumption of normal commercial flights.
