We value the contribution of NGOs to Search and Rescue in the central Mediterranean and are concerned about the increasing fatality rate that has coincided with the effective cessation of Search and Rescue operations, due to lack of assurances over safe disembarkation. UK Government officials have an ongoing dialogue with the NGOs and the UK continues to work with our international partners to seek solutions to the ongoing impasse over search and rescue in the Central Mediterranean.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 05/12/2018 15:01:57 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan
