Morocco: Foreign Relations

Question: To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, when he next plans to meet his Moroccan counterpart; and if he will raise the Paradise Gold and Beach Resort development at that meeting.

Answer: The UK remains committed to doing what we can to help British investors who lost their investments in the Paradise Golf & Beach Resort (PGBR) project. The UK continues to raise the issue of PGBR with the Moroccan authorities, both by British Embassy officials and His Majesty's Ambassador to Rabat with the relevant interlocutors in Morocco, and by FCDO officials in the UK with the Moroccan Embassy to the United Kingdom in London, where we encourage the Embassy to engage with British investors to the greatest extent possible.
