Proceeding contribution from Lord Hague of Richmond (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 6 February 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Syria.


Syria

Well, it is in any case the arrangement within the European Union that countries will provide assistance to each others' citizens if one is unable to do so, but of course the embassies of other nations are also being slimmed down, so it would be wrong for people to rely on that. I think that they should take our advice very seriously. For months we have said, ““Do not stay in Syria. Do not go to Syria.”” I cannot make it clearer than that. Rather than expect practical assistance, they should leave, and leave now.
