I refer the Hon. Member to the Foreign Secretary's answer to his question in this house on 28 March, where it was confirmed that we did not provide assistance to Mr Lanning, as he did not request assistance from us. We were ready to provide consular assistance in the event that it was requested. All British nationals outside the UK are eligible to ask for consular assistance. The nature of the support will vary depending on individual circumstances.
