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 support the organisation of an independent medical assessment of Craig and Lindsay Foreman.

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.
