Proceeding contribution from Iain Duncan Smith (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 5 December 2024. It occurred during Backbench debate on Detained British Nationals Abroad.


Detained British Nationals Abroad

I completely agree. I have no problem agreeing on this matter. It has been a long-standing issue for families and Members of Parliament that,

somehow, the FCDO puts a cloud of obscurity in the way of real knowledge about what is going on. For families, that can be incredibly difficult.
