Proceeding contribution from Jim Sheridan (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 17 March 2011. It occurred during Debate on North Africa and the Middle East.


North Africa and the Middle East

Notwithstanding the bravery of the diplomatic corps and, indeed, the military in Libya, may I share with the Foreign Secretary the experiences of my constituent James Coyle, who was eventually brought back to Britain from Libya? He and his family, and indeed his employer, experienced great difficulty in communicating with the Foreign Office and obtaining information. Has the Foreign Secretary had time to reflect on what lessons have been learned, and on how we can best deal with such circumstances in the future?
