Business question from Valerie Vaz (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 14 October 2010. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

My constituent James Goodman is a hard-working electrician who has invested in property in Egypt only to find that local builders have seized that property. His only advice from the embassy has been to get a lawyer. He has done that, and it has cost him more than £9,000. The Russian Government have looked after their citizens and have made representations to the Egyptian Government. May we have an early debate on what this Government are going to do to protect British citizens abroad?
