Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, when he last made representations to his Indian counterpart on the continuing detention of Jagtar Singh Johal.

We regularly make representations on Mr Johal's case to the Government of India. The Foreign Secretary raised Mr Johal's case on 1 August 2019 with the Indian Foreign Minister. On 23 October, Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon, the Minister for South Asia, raised Mr Johal's case with the Indian High Commissioner to the UK. The Minister also met with Mr Johal's family and constituency MP on 24 October.
