The Bishop of St Albans received the following written answer on 17th October 2023:
The Lord Bishop of St Albans asked His Majesty’s Government what representations they have made to the government of Morocco concerning the recent earthquake in that country.
Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon (Con, Foreign Office): The Foreign Secretary and I have both spoken to Foreign Minister Bourita following the earthquake on 8 September, and the UK remains in close contact with the Moroccan authorities. With their agreement, the UK deployed a team of 62 search and rescue specialists and a four-person UKMED medical assessment team, who have since withdrawn following the conclusion of their operations in support of Morocco’s recovery efforts. The Foreign Secretary and I have also both spoken to the UN’s emergency relief coordinator about coordinating support and ensuring a sustained humanitarian response in Morocco.
