We strongly support the mediation efforts of the international community led by Egypt and the UN and urge continued talks aimed at finding an enduring peace in Gaza. In order to protect civilians it is crucial a ceasefire is agreed and maintained as part of a political process that sees the Palestinian Authority return to Gaza and the lifting of restrictions on the Gazan people and economy.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 27/11/2018 17:54:12 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/11/2017 answer text <p>​The Foreign Secretary hopes to visit Iran later this year. While the itinerary for this is not yet confirmed, he will have a wide range of discussions, including on all our consular cases. Our Ambassador to Iran regularly requests consular access to our dual-national prisoners, not least so that we can check on their welfare. Iran considers these individuals to be Iranians under Iranian law and has therefore not granted the British Government access. Although there is no international legal obligation to recognise dual nationality, we consider them to be British and will continue to request access to them.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 23/11/2017 17:52:18 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
