<p><strong>As Parliament rose earlier than planned and the first day for answer of
this PQ was after the Easter recess, due to the pace of developments during the COVID-19

The Table Office have agreed this approach.</strong></p><p>We are working closely
with local authorities, commercial airlines and other diplomatic missions to enable
British people to get home. Our consular team is working around the clock to provide
support, advice and information. We are working intensively with the Governments of
those countries, including Kuwait, that have closed their borders to people travelling
to and from the UK, to enable airlines to bring back British people to the UK, if
that is what they want.</p><p>We have also published advice for British nationals
who do not have immediate departure options available to them: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/travel-advice-novel-coronavirus#if-youre-abroad-and-you-want-to-return-to-the-uk.</p>
