Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs written question – answered at on 12 October 2011.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many requests he received from hon. Members for assistance from his Department to bring to trial constituents detained in other countries in each of the last 10 years.
This information is not centrally held and can only be obtained at disproportionate cost. However, Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) Ministers and our consular directorate in London continue to welcome contact from hon. Members in relation to constituents or family members of constituents detained aboard. Supporting British nationals who are detained abroad is a vital part of the work of the FCO. This support is explained in our publication “Support for British nationals abroad: A guide”, which is available on the FCO website at:
