	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/10/2016 answer text <p>​Consular staff of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office tailor the support that they provide to British nationals based on their individual needs and the local conditions. Under certain circumstances this might include intervening on behalf of British nationals to try and ensure that they receive fair treatment. This could involve for example contacting the relevant local authorities to express an interest in a case or ask about progress. They cannot however interfere in another country's judicial processes on behalf of British nationals. We must respect other countries' systems, just as we expect them to respect the UK's laws and legal processes. This applies in all countries.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 19/10/2016 14:39:57 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
