As mentioned on 1 August, a detained British national can contact our Embassy with any concerns about prison conditions and impact on their welfare. Consular staff will then raise these concerns directly with the appropriate authorities. We are not aware of any complaints raised by the Turkish authorities in the past five years with regards to the treatment of Turkish nationals in British jails.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 18/09/2018 15:08:22 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
