Cleverly will be in Qatar

-

FOREIGN Secretary James Cleverly has vowed he will travel to Qatar after being blasted for his advice to gay football fans.

Labour MP Chris Bryant accused him of giving them a “slap in the face” by saying they should comply with local laws if they attend the World Cup.

Mr Cleverly told a Commons committee: “I will be going,” adding it was “my job to ensure British visitors stay safe”.

Mr Bryant asked if he would advise gay fans to protest in Qatar, where homosexual­ity is illegal.

Mr Cleverly replied: “No I wouldn’t. When British nationals travel overseas they should respect the laws of their host country.”
