Andrew Rosindell – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Andrew Rosindell on 2014-07-15.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what consular assistance is available to British nationals travelling to and around North Korea.

Mr Hugo Swire

The British Embassy in Pyongyang can only provide limited consular assistance to British Nationals in some parts of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) as a result of the limited access allowed to these areas. If a British National is based within the capital, where possible, regular consular services can be provided. British Nationals travelling independently should report their travel plans to the British Embassy in advance. Full travel advice for the DPRK is available at: www.gov.uk
