Proceeding contribution from Ian Jnr Paisley (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 June 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Middle East and North Africa.
Middle East and North Africa
I thank the Foreign Secretary for his comprehensive statement. Will he be specific about the number of British nationals who have fled Yemen since the statement in March? Will he give us his estimate of the number of British nationals who remain in Yemen and, finally, why are there 80 British marines off the coast of Yemen and what do they intend to do? In the statement, he said that it was ““extremely unlikely that the British Government will be able to evacuate any British nationals”” left in Yemen.
