answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/05/2021 answer text <p>We remain committed to securing the immediate and permanent release of Anoosheh Ashoori and arbitrarily detained dual British nationals in Iran so that they can return to the UK and be reunited with their families. Our Embassy in Tehran continues to request consular access to Mr Ashoori and we have been supporting his family since being made aware of his detention. The Foreign Secretary regularly raises the UK's serious concerns about Iran's practice of detaining foreign and dual nationals directly with Foreign Minister Zarif, most recently on 3 April, and the Prime Minister has raised the issue with President Rouhani, most recently on 10 March. The Ambassador in Tehran consistently raises the dual national detainees with the Iran authorities, most recently on 16 May. We remain in close contact with the family on this matter.</p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 26/05/2021 14:54:36 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/07/2017 answer text <p>The protection of civilians is a priority for the UK, and we will continue to work closely with the US and other partners to that end. We have provided significant support to humanitarian planning for Raqqah operations. This has included involvement in the Coalition's civil-military planning process and detailed engagement with the UN and agencies.</p><p>Arranging the safe passage of civilians to areas of safety hinges entirely on the goodwill of parties to the conflict. UK aid does not currently go to Daesh-held areas because Daesh are blocking humanitarian access. In areas of the Raqqah Governorate liberated from Daesh, DFID-funded partners are supporting the displaced with food, shelter, healthcare, water, sanitation and hygiene assistance.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 10/07/2017 16:44:21 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton
