Written question asked by Lord Strathclyde (Conservative), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Triesman (Labour) on Wednesday, 9 November 2005.
British Consulate, Istanbul
- Question
- Whether they will place in the Library of the House all documents relating to the decision not to restore the church and churchyard of St Helena’s at the British Consulate in Istanbul after its destruction by al-Qaeda bombing; and, if not, what are the reasons for withholding these documents.
- Answer
-
No decision was taken not to repair the chapel. Following the November 2003 bomb, we gave priority to the security, repair and restoration of Pera House, the building accommodating the majority of staff of the Consulate-General. Planning is now under way for the repair of the chapel of St Helena’s.
