Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps his Department is taking support British nationals in Cuba affected by Hurricane Ian.

Hurricane Ian passed over western Cuba on 27 September. There may be continued effects on transport, electricity supply, water and other infrastructure in the affected provinces while the recovery effort is underway. The British Embassy in Havana remains in close contact with the Cuban authorities, travel agencies and tour operators working with British nationals in the affected area. All consular services remained available to British nationals in Cuba during Hurricane Ian and continue to be available.
