Written question asked by Lord Naseby (Conservative) on Wednesday, 28 March 2018, in the House of Lords. It was due for an answer on Friday, 13 April 2018. It was answered by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon (Conservative) on Wednesday, 11 April 2018 on behalf of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

Caribbean: Hurricanes and Tornadoes

Question: To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the answer by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon on 10 October 2017 (HL Deb, col 101), whether they will publish their review of the UK's disaster relief operations in the Caribbean following Hurricane Irma; and if so, when.

Answer: The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) led an effective and rapid response to the unprecedented impact of Hurricane Irma in the Caribbean. As is standard practice for our response to all crises, a lessons learned process has since taken place led by the FCO and involving a range of Government Departments. To maintain the integrity of future lessons learned processes, we do not propose to share the results of these exercises outside of Government as it is important that the FCO is able to reflect on lessons learned internally as part of our crisis management process. We are now making progress in implementing the actions identified.
