<p>The Foreign Secretary hopes to visit Iran later this year. While the itinerary
for this is not yet confirmed, he will have a wide range of discussions, including
on all our consular cases. Our Ambassador to Iran regularly requests consular access
to our dual-national prisoners, not least so that we can check on their welfare. Iran
considers these individuals to be Iranians under Iranian law and has therefore not
granted the British Government access. Although there is no international legal obligation
to recognise dual nationality, we consider them to be British and will continue to
request access to them.</p>
