Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon on 9 July (HL9056), how many cases of detention in Turkey they have made representations about so far this year; and to give the details for each such instance.

It is not our policy to reveal all details of private meetings with foreign officials. As I said previously, we have raised a number of cases, including those of the civil society representatives known as the Istanbul 10.
