BRITISH PRIME MINISTER ON SAFETY OF TOURISTS
A few British tourists die in Goa, and their Prime Minister tells us he is
concerned
About safety in Goa – a sweeping charge that is certainly neither deserved
nor earned.
One would likewise unhesitatingly applaud
If, when Indians are ill treated abroad,
Our PM would likewise publicly complain so that their legitimate grievances
are not spurned.

LONDON: UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown has expressed concern over the safety
of British tourists in Goa and said that his government was ready to work
with the Indian authorities to improve their safety at the tourist hotspot.
In a letter to Fiona MacKeown, Scarlett Keeling's mother who wrote to Brown
about her daughter's death in March, the British Prime Minister said that
his government had raised the matter with the Indian officials.
"We have offered to work with the Indian authorities to improve the safety
of British tourists in the state-through improving communication and
information to tourists," Brown said.
