The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, on what date his last discussion with representatives of the Indian Government took place on the detention of Jagtar Singh Johal.

Answered by Catherine West

The UK Government remains absolutely committed to pushing the Government of India for a faster resolution to Jagtar Singh Johal's case. The Foreign Secretary continues to raise concerns with the Government of India, most recently with Indian External Affairs Minister Dr. Subrahmanyam Jaishankar on 25 November. The Prime Minister also raised Mr Johal's case with Prime Minister Modi on 18 November and I raised Mr Johal's case on 19 November with the Indian Minister of State for External Affairs.
