Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether he plans to revise his Department's position on the European Commission's Green Paper on safety of tourism accommodation services to take account of the recent coroner's report on the death of Christi and Bobby Shepherd.

The deaths of Christi and Bobby Shepherd were a horrific tragedy and our deepest condolences remain with their parents. The safety of tourists at home and abroad is an absolute priority and we will continue to keep the area under review.

The Government is currently examining the Coroner’s recommendations from the inquest into the children’s deaths and will respond in due course.
