<p>The Foreign Secretary raised the cases of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and Kamal Foroughi
when he last met his Iranian counterpart in February. I raised this matter with Deputy
Foreign Minister Dr Ravanchi on 21 June and in my meeting with the Iranian Ambassador
on 6 July.</p><p>We have repeatedly requested consular access so that we may be assured
of the detainees' welfare and their access to any appropriate medical treatment, however,
Iran does not recognise dual nationality and therefore does not grant us consular
access. Nevertheless we shall continue to lobby the Iranian authorities about these
cases at the highest levels at every opportunity.</p>
