answer text <p>Our Ambassador in Tehran raises the cases of our British/Iranian dual national detainees, including Mr Kamal Foroughi, at every opportunity as part of his regular discussions with the Iranian Government. This happened most recently on 30 August. I also raised the cases of our dual national detainees with the Iranian Foreign Minister and Deputy Foreign Minister when I visited Tehran on 5 August.
