We recognise the hard work of many FCO staff and diplomats who worked around the clock and did an excellent job helping UK citizens get home. However, some posts performed more effectively than others and there are areas where efforts fell short.
Government Response
The government acknowledges the report's observations, highlighting the positive feedback on staff efforts and recognising concerns regarding areas where efforts fell short, stating the FCDO has reviewed its performance and established a Repatriation Taskforce.
