Over 300 British citizens, including people from Bedford are stuck aboard the Princess Coral cruise ship and are struggling to find safe passage home. I sent a letter to the Foreign Secretary, asking him to act urgently to repatriate British citizens. The ship is now on its way to Florida where we hope they will be allowed to disembark and make their journey home.

Rest assured my office and I are doing all we can to ensure anyone stranded abroad can get home safely as quickly as possible.
