	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/05/2020 answer text <p>Pakistan is a priority for the UK Government. We have been working closely with the Government of Pakistan and airlines to ensure British Nationals can return home from Pakistan. The UK Government has announced two rounds of special charter flights from Pakistan to bring home British travellers and their direct dependents, operated by Qatar Airways. The first round of flights were between 21 and 27 April, including seven from Islamabad and three from Lahore, to London Heathrow and Manchester. Following high demand for these flights, there will be a second round of nine direct charter flights from 30 April, including one from Karachi.</p><p>We cannot provide an accurate figure for those currently registered for HMG charter flights because many passengers have registered more than once, have already returned by commercial flights or no longer want to return to the UK.</p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 06/05/2020 15:36:00 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/06/2020 answer text <p>Repatriating British travellers from Pakistan is a priority for the UK Government and we have been working closely with the Pakistani government and airlines to ensure British travellers can return home. Since the outbreak in Wuhan, we estimate that over 1.3 million people have returned to the UK via commercial routes - the majority supported by our work to keep vital routes open. Additionally we have brought home over  35,800 people on 170 flights organised by the Foreign Office from 36 countries and territories of which over 4,400 British travellers and their direct dependents have been repatriated on 21 flights from Pakistan.</p><p>The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) does not have a central registration system for British travellers who wish to return to the UK so we are unable to estimate how many travellers either UK Nationals or residents of Scotland remain. It is difficult to be more precise because there have been instances of multiple registrations by the same individual, people not reporting their return to the UK via other means, and long term residents registering for flights even though they were not eligible. British travellers are only asked to register for flights with Corporate Travel Management when charter flights have been announced for a country. Anyone who registered on the booking portal for a UK charter flight has been offered an opportunity to pay for a seat. Those eligible people who paid were offered seats on flights back to the UK. Any British travellers who did not register or pay for a seat but now wish to return to the UK are being encouraged to use commercial options.</p><p>We have been liaising closely with Scottish Government colleagues and updating them on our repatriation programme.</p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams grouped question UIN 52172 question first answered 09/06/2020 15:09:02 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams previous answer version 25539 answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/05/2021 answer text <p>The UK has stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Pakistan throughout the pandemic. We have already provided £17 million of UK aid to help Pakistan fight COVID-19. This includes funding the World Health Organization (WHO) to build laboratory testing capacity through training and provision of equipment across Pakistan.</p><p>The UK is also supporting the equitable rollout of vaccines in Pakistan through COVAX, an international alliance co-led by Gavi, CEPI and WHO. The UK has contributed £548m to COVAX's Advance Market Commitment, which is helping to provide supply of 1 billion doses for up to 92 developing countries, including Pakistan, in 2021. The Prime Minister has confirmed that the UK will share the majority of any future COVID-19 vaccines from our supply that are surplus to domestic needs with COVAX.</p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 27/05/2021 15:47:28 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams
