The FCDO stopped short of advising against all but essential travel to Rhodes and Corfu despite Foreign Office minister Andrew Mitchell saying he would not holiday there.
Speaking during a House of Lords debate on Tuesday (25 July), Baroness Angela Smith of Basildon (Labour) said: “When the minister at the FCDO was asked whether he would go to Rhodes on holiday, he admitted that he would not travel there.
“The government’s lack of advice is not helpful to those who are not sure whether they should fly this week, or what the financial consequences could be.”
