Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, whether he has made an assessment of the effect on Qatar's food imports of the closure of the Abu Samra border between that country and Saudi Arabia.

We continue to monitor the situation closely. We are aware that work-arounds and alternative sourcing have been found, including for dairy products. We are keen for a resolution to the current situation to be found quickly.
