Written question asked by Lord Maginnis of Drumglass (Ulster Unionist Party), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Howell of Guildford (Conservative) on Wednesday, 6 April 2011.
Iraq: Camp Ashraf
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Howell of Guildford on 9 March (WA 411), what obstacles there are to United Kingdom parliamentarians wishing to visit Camp Ashraf in an observer capacity; and whether they are entitled to normal consular support while in Iraq.
- Answer
-
Foreign and Commonwealth Office travel advice advises against all travel to Baghdad and certain provinces, including Diyala in which Camp Ashraf is located. The UK does not have the resources or capability to support parliamentarians wishing to visit Camp Ashraf in an observer capacity. In addition, the UK is reliant on US assets to provide transport to Camp Ashraf for consular visits. The UK will continue to offer consular assistance to any individuals that are entitled to receive such support.
