UK parliamentary group says it is pressuring the UK to restore flights to Sharm

The Egyptian-British Parliamentary Friendship Association sees that the UK’s travel ban on flights to Sharm El Sheikh should be lifted and is working on pressuring the UK government, said British MP Stephen Timms, according to Ahram Online. Timms, who heads the association, made his comments to Tourism Minister Rania Al Mashat during her UK visit to attend the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC). This is the latest in a string of statements by UK MPs who believe that the flight ban serves no purpose at this point in time. Yet the UK government, while continuing to promise to work on lifting the ban, has done nothing of note on that front.
