Ministerial Correction

Monday 3 November 2008

Foreign and Commonwealth Office

Diplomatic Service

Sir John Stanley: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs in which UN member states the UK has no resident British Ambassador or resident British High Commissioner; and from which country British diplomatic representation is provided by accreditation in each of those countries. [223091]

[Official Report, 17 October 2008, Vol. 480, c. 1596-97W.]

Letter of correction from Gillian Merron:

I refer to Parliamentary Question number 223091:

‘In which UN member states the UK has no resident British Ambassador or resident British High Commissioner; and from which country British diplomatic representation is provided by accreditation in each of those countries.'

In my reply, I mistakenly referred to the Independent State of Samoa as ‘American Samoa.' I have written to the MP in question, Sir John Stanley, to apologise and correct the answer.

Please find a corrected version of my reply as follows:
