Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the evacuation of British nationals from Libya by the Royal Navy on HMS Enterprise in August 2014, (a) how many British nationals were evacuated and (b) what the eligibility criteria were for those evacuated.

This question requires more research than the right hon. Gentleman’s Named Day Question allows for. I will write to him once the relevant records have been interrogated.
