Boris Johnson is under pressure to clarify whether dual-nationality Britons can travel to the US during Donald Trump's travel ban.

The Foreign Secretary has insisted that Britons with dual citizenship would still be free to travel to the US - even if they were born in one of seven majority Muslim countries on Mr Trump's blacklist.

Mr Johnson's clarification followed urgent talks with the US President's senior adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner on Sunday to discuss the position of Britons, such as Olympian Sir Mo Farah.

However, advice on the US embassy in the UK website on Monday morning said there would be a 90-day travel ban to the US for those from the seven countries: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.


And the notice said this included those with dual nationality.

It warned: "If you are a national, or dual national, of one of these countries (the seven majority Muslim countries), please do not schedule a visa appointment or pay any visa fees at this time.

"If you already have an appointment scheduled, please DO NOT ATTEND your appointment as we will not be able to proceed with your visa interview."

The Prime Minister's spokesman said Downing Street had not seen the statement on the website.

The advice had been removed from the embassy website by Monday afternoon.

Johnson on Trump issues: 'Contain your impatience'

Former Labour leader Ed Miliband and Conservative MP Nadhim Zahawi, who was born in Iraq, have joined forces to call for an emergency debate in Parliament on the travel ban.

Mr Miliband tweeted: "With @nadhimzahawi, I will be applying for an emergency debate for today on President Trump's Muslim ban, in addition to a Statement or UQ.

"We think it essential the House of Commons has proper chance immediately to debate & send out united message against this abhorrent policy."

Mr Johnson confirmed he would make a statement in the House of Commons later on Monday.

It comes as more than one million people signed an online petition calling for Mr Trump's forthcoming state visit to the UK to be blocked.

Trump defends travel ban

But Downing Street has insisted Mr Trump's state visit will go ahead.

Her spokesman said Mrs May was "very happy" to extend the invitation to Mr Trump and added "we look forward to hosting the President later this year".

Protests over the travel ban have also been planned for 6pm on Monday in London, Manchester, Bristol, Brighton, Liverpool, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Swansea.
