§ Mr. Harry BarnesTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, pursuant to the reply to the hon. Member for Edinburgh, Leith (Mr. Brown),Official Report, column 702, 7 March, what action is taken to protect the well-being of British citizens who visit North Korea.
§ Mr. MaudeSince we do not recognise North Korea as a state, and accordingly have no relations with any authorities in North Korea, we can offer no consular protection there. British travellers to North Korea who seek advice from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office are warned of this difficulty.
