PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Lebanon: British Nationals Abroad (29 October 2024)

The safety of British nationals is our number one priority. Our consular teams continue to work in support of British nationals. We have well-rehearsed plans in place, drawing on military and civilian resources across government ready to aid consular efforts if the situation deteriorates further. We chartered a limited number of flights from Lebanon to support British nationals to leave the country in response to the deteriorating security situation recently. The latest UK charter flight left on 6 October but availability on commercial options remain. We continue to encourage British nationals who remain in Lebanon to leave while these commercial options remain available. FCDO continues to advise against all travel to Lebanon.
