answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/07/2016 answer text <p>We continue to lobby the Iranians regularly about all our consular cases in Iran, including that of Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe. I have raised the case a number of times, and, on 4 July, spoke to Foreign Minister Zarif. I subsequently followed that up with a letter. On 18 May, my hon. Friend the Member for Bournemouth East (Mr Ellwood), the Minister with responsibility for the Middle East, met Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s family. We will continue to push the Iranians for consular access to her—the challenge is that Iran does not recognise dual nationality—and for more information about the charges that are alleged against her.</p> answering member constituency Runnymede and Weybridge answering member printed Mr Philip Hammond question first answered 12/07/2016 15:48:59 answering member 105 label Biography information for Lord Hammond of Runnymede
