We are advising British Nationals stranded abroad, to contact the relevant authority in the country they are located with regards to their visa. In a number of countries, including Thailand and Indonesia, we have provided British National travellers with expiring visas, letters and information notes from the Consulate to support their visa extension requests.<\/p>

The Government regularly discusses the security situation with Israeli officials at all levels. Our commitment to Israel's security is unwavering. Israel has the right to ensure its own security, and its citizens have the right to live without fear of attack. Rocket attacks indiscriminately threaten the daily lives of Israelis and make achieving peace more difficult. The UK continues to support a negotiated agreement between the Israelis and the Palestinians which will protect Israeli citizens and ensure their safety.

We are committed to supporting the fundamental human right to freedom of religion or belief.

I understand that the unacceptably long delay in providing a response to the correspondence in question was caused by administrative difficulties in transferring the response between Government Departments.
