We believe the vast majority of British travellers seeking to return to the UK - who don't have commercial options - have now done so. Through our embassies, and a dedicated central team, we continue to support British nationals who need consular support and are working to ensure commercial routes are maintained.<\/p>

We have brought nearly 18,000 people back to the UK on 66 chartered flights from India, including from New Delhi, Goa, Mumbai, the Punjab, Gujarat and West Bengal. These flights carried almost all of those in India who registered, were eligible, and took up a flight when given the chance to do so. Since then, thousands of people, including British nationals, have been able to make use of outbound legs of Air India's "Vande Bharat" repatriation flights to return to the UK, as well as the increasing number of British Airways flights which are now running from India. The British High Commission is in contact with airlines, the Indian authorities, and other governments to make sure that more commercial options for returning to the UK are available as soon as possible.<\/p>

Repatriation flights from the Punjab started just five days into the repatriation operation. We estimate that of the 18,000 people who returned to the UK, over 8,000 returned from the Punjab on 29 charter flights between 13 April and 4 June. Our consular teams in India continue to work around the clock to provide support, advice and information to British travellers remaining in Punjab.

As the Foreign Secretary stated on 20 July, we expect China, as a fellow member of the G20 and a fellow permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, to live up to the international obligations and the international responsibilities that come with that stature. The UK's approach to China remains clear-eyed and rooted in our values and interests. Where we have concerns we raise them, and we work closely with a range of international partners to counter Chinese activity that threatens our values and collective security. The Foreign Secretary is in frequent contact with his Asia-Pacific counterparts to discuss a range of issues, including China. He most recently spoke to (a) Australian Foreign Minister Payne on 15 July, to (b) Malaysian Foreign Minister Hishammuddin on 20 April, to (c) Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno on 1 April and to (d) Japanese Foreign Minister Motegi on 5 August. The Foreign Secretary and senior officials continue to engage regularly on China with a broad range of international partners beyond those specifically mentioned above.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4057", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Nigel Adams"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Selby and Ainsty"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Nigel Adams"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2020-09-01", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2020-09-01T14:30:11.927Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "16"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2020-07-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "China: Diplomatic Relations"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent discussions he has held with his (a) Australian, (b) Malaysian, (c) Indonesian and (d) Japanese counterparts on diplomatic steps to help ensure that the Chinese Government upholds its international obligations.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4131", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jim Shannon"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Strangford"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Jim Shannon"} ], "uin" : "77620"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1226860", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1226860/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
