That this House notes with deep concern the decision by the government of Saudi Arabia to limit the number of British Muslims who can travel to Mecca for Hajj and Umrah; further notes that the limit amounts to a cut of 20 per cent and that many British citizens are being forced to cancel often costly travel plans as a result; and calls on the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to intervene on behalf of British Muslims in their efforts to get refunds and compensation from tour operators and the Saudi authorities.

This motion has been signed by a total of 20 MPs.
