UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson is to fly to the Caribbean later in the wake of the devastating Hurricane Irma.
The BBC understands he will visit the British Virgin Islands and Anguilla, both British overseas territories which were badly damaged by the storm.
Mr Johnson will see the relief effort at first hand, visit affected communities and meet local governors.
His trip follows criticism from people living in the Caribbean and senior MPs that the UK's response was too slow.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has said the British government "should have acted much faster", and those with relatives in hurricane-hit areas have said they have not been supported.
