Speaking in the Commons, Mr Hague said that there had been two confirmed
deaths following clashes in Pearl Square, Manama and that the Foreign Office
is not aware of any British nationals caught up in the violence in the country
Mr Hague said: "We're advising all British nationals to stay away from
protests and avoid all but essential travel around Bahrain.
"The airport in Manama continues to function normally but we will of course
keep the situation under review and ensure that British nationals in Bahrain
receive full consular support."
