Storms: Channel Islands
Monday 20th November 2023

Asked by: Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton (Conservative - Life peer)

Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask His Majesty's Government what support they have offered to (1) Jersey, and (2) Guernsey, following the impact of Storm Ciarán.

Answered by Lord Bellamy

The Crown Dependencies are responsible for their own contingency planning and emergency response but the UK stands ready to assist them in responding to emergencies where they request additional support.

UK officials were in contact with emergency planners in the Channel Islands during Storm Ciarán but none of the Islands requested any support from the UK.
