Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Vere of Norbiton on 20 October (HL1876), how many UK citizens are currently being held without charge in other EU Member States.
Consular Directorate's case management system records British nationals detained overseas, where cases have been reported to us. British national detainees are divided into two categories – those who have been sentenced and those who are yet to be sentenced. It does not have a breakdown of the latter and we cannot provide numbers of those who are yet to be charged.
