§ Mr. WorthingtonTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement about the security situation in Algeria; what estimate he has made of the risk to British citizens; and what are the implications for regional security.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydThe security situation in Algeria is serious. British citizens are at risk. We are advising that visitors should not travel to Algeria and that British residents should leave unless they have compelling reason to remain. So far, there is no evidence that the conflict has had any destabilising effect in other countries.
