Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon on 18 September (HL9903), whether they will now answer the question asked, namely how many separate cases of detention in Turkey have been raised with the government of Turkey; and on how many occasions each of those cases of detention have been raised.

​As stated in my answer of 18 September 2018 (HL9903), we do not reveal details of all the cases we have raised with the Turkish authorities nor the frequency with which we have raised them. These are private conversations between our two governments. However we will continue to raise key human rights issues, including individual cases where appropriate and in accordance with the criteria outlined in my answer of 18 September 2018 (HL9904), with Turkey.
