British Nationals Abroad: Detainees
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of introducing a strategy to tackle the detention of UK dual-nationals by foreign countries.
Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) assesses all requests for consular assistance in line with our public consular charter and broader consular and crisis strategy. This includes our assistance to British dual nationals, including those who are detained overseas. The FCDO seeks continuously to improve our processes and services to strengthen our support for British nationals abroad.
