answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/03/2024 answer text <p>We have been facilitating British citizens and their foreign national dependents (spouse, unmarried/civil partner, child under 18) to come to the UK, provided they have valid travel documents and hold a minimum of 6 months right to remain on their UK visa or are non-visa nationals. We have helped 315 British nationals, their dependants and relevant visa holders to leave Gaza so far. We are working with the Israeli and Egyptian authorities to support any remaining eligible people still in Gaza. Individuals who do not meet these criteria should apply for a visa to enable them to enter the UK in the normal way.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 08/03/2024 14:48:51 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell
