Egypt
« Egypt | Back to most recent briefing | Al Megrahi »
Asked if the Prime Minister believed the longer the President stayed in power, the more violence and bloodshed there would be, the PMS referred the press to the Prime Minister’s earlier statement on the latest situation.
Asked how many people had registered for the chartered flight out of Egypt, the PMS said the Foreign Office would be able to provide details on numbers.
Put that there were suggestions that people were having trouble registering for the flight, the PMS added that there was certainly capacity on scheduled BA flights out of the country.
Asked why the UK Government had chartered a plane when there were seats available on commercial flights, the PMS said that the situation in Egypt was changing quite rapidly and it was therefore sensible to have contingency plans in place.
