The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps she is taking to ensure regular communication between Craig and Lindsay Foreman and their family in the United Kingdom.

Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer

There is no significant update to provide the Hon Member beyond the answer I gave him on 30 June in response to Question 12428. However, I can assure him that we are continuing to raise the issues he has highlighted on a regular basis with the Iranian authorities, and providing consular assistance directly to Craig and Lindsay. I will keep the Hon Member updated as and when there are new developments to report.
