Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Stephen Doughty and Robbie Moore

Tuesday 20th January 2026 Commons Chamber

[Robbie Moore (Keighley and Ilkley) (Con)]

A 14-year-old child, the son of my constituent Mr Greaves, has been detained by the French state for 440 days. He is a British citizen with no dual nationality. He has received no schooling and, most concerning of all, has not received even a single welfare visit by the British consulate, despite having been chased many times. Will the Foreign Secretary intervene personally in this case and meet with me to be able to secure a welfare visit?

[Stephen Doughty]

I am happy to meet with the hon. Gentleman to discuss the case.
