Dr. Tonge

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made to the Government of Greece regarding the condition of the Afghan, Iraqi Kurds and Pakistani refugees who recently disembarked on the island of Zakynthos. [14738]

Peter Hain

The Government have made no representations to the Government of Greece about the condition of refugees recently disembarked on the island of Zakynthos.

HM Government wholly condemn the people-traffickers who cause the kind of human suffering witnessed in this incident and are working energetically with colleagues, including EU colleagues, to crack down on this evil trade.
