Proceeding contribution from Hamish Falconer (Labour) 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 am afraid that, as the right hon. Gentleman might expect, I will not provide a detailed commentary on whether we are considering sanctions in any of these cases. Our position has been that we do not like to discuss sanctions in the House before we implement them, but I recognise the thrust of what he says. I think he is asking me to ensure that there is no diplomatic lever that we would not consider pulling to ensure the safety of our nationals, and I can confirm that.
