answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/06/2019 answer text <p>​The access to justice unit was established in January 2015 to lead on consular support provided to families bereaved through murder or manslaughter. This followed an internal review of the support offered to these families conducted in 2014, and recommendations made by the Foreign Affairs Committee in their 2014 Report on Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) Consular Services. The name of the unit was changed to the Murder and Manslaughter Team shortly after it was established to better reflect the unit’s purpose as a dedicated team supporting those bereaved through murder or manslaughter overseas. This includes working closely with our posts overseas on these often complex and long-running cases.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 06/06/2019 15:35:57 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/05/2019 answer text <p>​The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) strongly encourages all British people travelling abroad to take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance before they travel, regardless of their destination. We do not maintain an exhaustive list of countries where evidence of travel insurance cover may be required as a condition of entry, as a range of evidence can be requested as part of individual visa applications. British people travelling abroad can check the relevant FCO travel advice country page for information and advice on entry requirements for their destination country, and should contact the embassy of the country they are visiting if they need further guidance about their eligibility to enter. Responsibility for determining eligibility for entry rests with the immigration authorities in the country concerned.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 01/05/2019 15:38:27 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
