answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/12/2017 answer text <p>Consular staff in India were made aware of allegations of mistreatment through Mr Johal's legal representation. Our priority is to inquire about these specific allegations with Mr Johal in private. We take all allegations of torture of mistreatment extremely seriously and we will press for action appropriate to the situation, with the consent of the individual, avoiding any action that may put the individual concerned at risk. The Foreign Secretary raised the case with the Indian Minister of External Affairs on 23 November and Consular officials continue to reiterate our request for a private meeting with Mr Johal with the Indian Government. I have personally raised this with the Indian ​High Commissioner.</p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 12/12/2017 17:14:15 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field
