Paradise Golf and Beach Resort

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what support his Department is providing to British citizens who lost investments in Paradise Golf and Beach Resort.

Answer

The UK remains committed to providing support where possible to the British investors who lost their investments in the Atlantic Paradise Golf & Beach Resort (APGBR) project. Although strictly a legal matter for the Moroccan courts, His Majesty's Ambassador to Morocco regularly raises the issue of compensation with senior Moroccan interlocutors. On 7 July he met the Wali of Tangier and the President of the Commercial Court of Tangier to specifically discuss APGBR. These meetings were constructive but not conclusive. We will continue to urge the Moroccan authorities to find a speedy resolution to this dispute.
