§ Mr. JenkinTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what advice the Government have given to British nationals working in Yemen following the threat made by the group calling itself The Army of Suicides, Group Number 66, Bin Laden Militant Wing. [73185]
§ Mr. Tony LloydThe safety of British nationals is of paramount importance to the Government. We monitor closely all potential threats to British interests in the UK and overseas.
Foreign and Commonwealth Office travel advice is updated regularly. Currently, we advise against all travel to Yemen. British nationals resident in Yemen are advised to consider whether their presence in Yemen is absolutely necessary, and if not, to leave. If they choose to stay, they should review their security arrangements; be extra vigilant; and stay in close touch with the British Embassy in Sana'a or the Consulate General in Aden.
