To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what progress he has made in reaching agreement with the Chinese Government for the return to China of the remains of the 58 young people found dead at Dover. [145063]

Mr. Battle

The bodies of the 58 Chinese nationals who died at Dover were repatriated to China on 18 January. We reached agreement with the Chinese Government that the bodies should be returned to the Fujian province of China, their place of origin, to be laid to rest by the immediate relatives there.
