Imran Khan: Imprisonment

Lord Kennedy of Southwark Excerpts

Wednesday 25th February 2026 Lords Chamber

[Lord Sikka (Lab)]

My Lords—

[Captain of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms and Chief Whip (Lord Kennedy of Southwark) (Lab Co-op)]

My Lords, we have plenty of time. We will hear first from the noble Lord, Lord Ahmad, and then we will come to the Labour Benches.

[Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon (Con)]

My Lords, I thank the Chief Whip. Following on from the question from my noble friend Lord Goldsmith, specific facilitation can be done. The Minister—for whom many in the House, if not all, have great respect—can practically help to facilitate access for British citizens. Sulaiman and Kasim, the sons of Imran Khan, are British citizens. I ask the Minister please to use her best offices to facilitate the two sons meeting their father, particularly as he is now receiving the acute and important medical treatment he needs, on the decision of the courts of Pakistan, to ensure that that medical attention is supported by family access of his own two sons.
