Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent representations he has made to the Iranian authorities to secure the release of Kamal Foroughi.

The Foreign Secretary regularly expresses his concerns about all our dual national cases with Foreign Minister Zarif. Our Ambassador in Tehran raises these cases at every opportunity as part of his regular discussions with the Iranian Government. I most recently raised this case with the Iranian Ambassador to the UK on 14 November.
