Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they plan to increase the resources available to the United Kingdom Embassy in Tunis.

Staffing resources at our Embassy in Tunis have more than doubled since the 2011 revolution. An additional staff member is due to deploy later this year. We plan to focus programme resources on areas where the UK can offer unique comparative advantage, coordinating with other partners to maximise effect. Programme Fund budgets for future Financial Years are yet to be confirmed.
