Proceeding contribution from Alun Cairns (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 28 February 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Libya and the Middle East.


Libya and the Middle East

My constituent, Richard Foscolo, was stranded in the desert in Ghani in an oilfield. He returned home last Friday. Initial contact with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office was naturally difficult, partly because of the circumstances on the ground, but the family feel particularly let down by his employers, OPS International, which did not make all the information available to the embassy or to the FCO, so that co-ordination could be brought about effectively. What action will the Prime Minister take to ensure that information is shared as efficiently as possible?
