Foreign secretary says Britain will try to keep flights going as Tory MP presses him over fate of Britons’ Sudanese parents
The foreign secretary has said the UK cannot guarantee evacuation flights from Sudan will continue into Friday, but has come under pressure over the refusal to allow Britons in the country to take elderly parents with them.
James Cleverly told MPs on Thursday afternoon that the UK would endeavour to keep the airlift going after the ceasefire is due to end at midnight local time, although he said he could not guarantee this, and continued to advise Britons to leave immediately.
