I will ask officials to publish in the House what can be published on the specific cases that the hon. Member mentioned.
Taiwo Owatemi (Coventry North West) (Lab)
I really hope that the Minister is taking Jagtar’s case seriously, because sadly this not an isolated incident: we have faced similar difficulties in defending the west midlands three in Coventry North West. Will the Minister reassure me and my constituents that Jagtar’s freedom will never be up for negotiation in efforts to strengthen wider relations with the Indian Government?
Rehman Chishti
If the hon. Lady wants to write to me on her specific constituency case, I will ensure that Ministers look at those points and come back to her.
