Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent assessment she has made of the availability of fuel in Haiti.

The UK is deeply concerned at the deteriorating security situation in Haiti and the impact this is having on the Haitian people. We are closely following developments, including on fuel availability. The UK supports the Special Representative of the Secretary General of the UN Special Political Mission, BINUH, in their ongoing diplomatic engagement with the Haitian authorities. We continue to use our platform both in country and at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to call for credible and transparent elections as soon as technically feasible, to ensure Haiti is governed by strong democratic institutions chosen by the Haitian people.
