The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, pursuant to question UIN 122285, on which dates the two conversations between Minister Doughty and his Turkish counterpart took place; and on which date their next conversation about the protection of Iain Guille's rights under the law is due to take place.

Answered by Stephen Doughty

I discussed Iain Guille's detention and welfare with my Turkish counterpart on 17 December 2025 and 3 February 2026, and I am continuing to follow the case closely. Consular officials are also monitoring Mr Guille's situation and providing support to his family as appropriate.
