§ Mr. WigginTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what guidance he has issued to British citizens working in countries where there is a high risk of terrorist attacks, concerning their personal safety. [184028]
§ Mr. MacShaneTravel advice for 217 countries, including those where there is a high threat from terrorism, is available on the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) website: www.fco.gov.uk. This provides practical objective, accurate and up-to-date information including on personal safety, so that British nationals can make informed decisions about travelling abroad. Our diplomatic missions also communicate such advice to British expatriates through wardens' networks overseas. In October 2003 the FCO and the Confederation of British Industry launched the Security Information Service for Businesses Overseas (SISBO), which provides British companies with information on political and security risks in overseas markets.
