PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(6 July 2026)

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment she has made of the potential implications for her Department’s policies on UK -India trade discussions of the continued detention of British national Jagtar Singh Johal.

Asked by:
Douglas McAllister (Labour)

We continue to press for progress and for a swift resolution on Mr Johal's case, as discussed by the Foreign Secretary with her Indian counterpart on 4 June. These and other consular matters are raised on an ongoing basis, with no reference to discussions on trade, which are also primarily a matter for the Department for Business and Trade.
