Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps she is taking to help ensure that any hostage release deal as part of the Vienna talks includes the release of all British nationals held in Iran including Anoosheh Ashoori.
It is unhelpful to connect the release of detainees to wider issues. We remain committed to securing the immediate and permanent release of unfairly detained British nationals in Iran, including Anoosheh Ashoori.
