§ Lady HermonTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps he has taken to improve security at British high commissions and embassies following the recent terrorist attacks in Turkey. [142670]
§ Mr. RammellWe keep the security of all out posts under constant review. Immediately after the attack in Istanbul, all Diplomatic Missions were instructed to review their security urgently and, where appropriate, implement security enhancements.
