Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what steps he has taken to ensure the safety of UK delegations in regions where Boko Haram poses a threat.

While most British visitors encounter no problems when visiting Nigeria and Cameroon, Boko Haram has conducted attacks in both countries. FCO travel advice for both countries provides information and advice to help all travellers make better informed decisions. This is reviewed on a regular basis and includes information and advice about the terrorist threat.
For those parts of Nigeria and Cameroon where we judge that the level of risk to British nationals is unacceptably high, we advise against all or all but essential travel. These areas are shown clearly on the maps that accompany the travel advice on the GOV.UK website.

We encourage all British nationals planning travel to, or living in, Nigeria and Cameroon to consult our travel advice regularly.
