Jim Fitton

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps she is taking to help secure the release of Jim Fitton.

Answer

Consular officials in Iraq and the UK continue to provide consular assistance to Mr Fitton and his family. We cannot, of course, interfere in the judicial process of another country, just as we would not expect interference in our own. The British Ambassador in Baghdad has raised and will continue to raise our interest in Mr Fitton's case with the Iraqi Government. Mr Filton's safety and welfare remain of the upmost importance.
