Anoosheh Ashoori

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, when UK diplomats last met with the hon. Member for Lewisham East's constituent, Mr Anoosheh Ashoori.

Answer

Iran does not recognise dual nationality and therefore does not permit consular access to British-Iranian detainees. Regardless, we continue to press the Iranian authorities for consular access.
