Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent steps he has taken to provide assistance to Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe.

Ministers and officials have repeatedly made representations on all consular cases involving British nationals in Iran, including Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe's, at all levels, with the Iranian Government. I personally raised these cases when I met the Iranian Ambassador on 7 December and our Ambassador in Iran will continue to raise these cases with the Iranian Government at every available opportunity in Tehran.
