James Cleverly, the foreign secretary, is under pressure to let UK citizens take elderly parents with them
The foreign secretary has said the UK could not guarantee evacuation flights from Sudan would 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.
