(14 May 2026)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent steps has she taken to ensure the release of Craig and Lindsay Foreman.

Asked by:
James MacCleary (Liberal Democrat)

Answer

Craig and Lindsay Foreman's welfare remains a priority for Foreign Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO) ministers and officials. The Foreign Secretary raised the case with Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi on 8 May and we are continuing to support the couple and their family as best we can in the current circumstances, as we also will any other British nationals detained in Iran who request our help. A specialist team from the FCDO is in frequent contact with members of Craig and Lindsay's family, providing regular updates and advice.
