Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that its recent granting of diplomatic protection for Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe is effective.
​Diplomatic protection does not automatically dictate any particular course of action. We continue to make further diplomatic representations to the Iranian authorities privately and are continually reviewing what further steps are available to us to help secure the Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe's release. We will continue to make decisions in line with what we believe is in her best interests.
