Lord Harrison

asked Her Majesty's Government:

In the light of the recent Foreign and Commonwealth Office Report on the work of United Kingdom consular officials, what action they can take to reduce the number of fatal accidents to British tourists in Spain and other European Union member states. [HL4411]

Baroness Scotland of Asthal

We take every opportunity to warn British travellers of the possible dangers they might encounter overseas through regular liaison with travel and tourist organisations and wide distribution of consular publications and travel advice notices. Where possible, we also alert foreign local authorities to potential dangers.
