We cannot, of course, interfere in the judicial process of another country, just as we would not expect interference in our own. The British Ambassador in Baghdad has and will continue to, raise our interest in Mr Fitton's case with the Iraqi Government. This included raising with the authorities the UK's strong opposition to the death penalty - both the possibility of it being applied in Mr Fitton's case and in all circumstances as a matter of principle. Whilst he is detained, we will continue to register our interest in Mr Fitton and that the conditions of the prison are in line with international standards. Mr Fitton's safety and welfare remain of the upmost importance.</p> answering member constituency Cannock Chase answering member printed Amanda Milling question first answered 13/06/2022 14:56:21 answering member 4454 label Biography information for Dame Amanda Milling
