2010 World Cup

Mr. Watson
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps he is taking to provide travel advice to British nationals ahead of the 2010 World Cup finals; and if he will make a statement.

Chris Bryant
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office is working with a wide range of organisations to provide travel advice for British fans through our Know Before You Go campaign and its associated partners, the Travel Advice service, and our High Commission in South Africa. Our official travel safety campaign will be launched just before the 4 December World Cup draw. The campaign will regularly reinforce important safety messages in the run up to the World Cup using a variety of communication methods. We already provide advice and tips through the website:

www.fco.gov.uk/worldcup

which will be regularly updated.
