Topical Questions

Question
Is the Minister aware of the situation facing my constituent, Mr Shrien Dewani, and can he inform the House of what measures his Department is taking to ensure that he receives appropriate British support?
Answer

I am grateful to my hon. Friend. When I was in South Africa 10 days ago, I raised this case with the consul general and his team. He made it clear not only that had everything possible been done to support Mr Dewani but that if he returns to South Africa, he will receive full consular support. My hon. Friend has done all that she possibly can to help the family and has been absolutely exemplary in what she has done to assist them.
