Steve Witherden MP: written questions
4 Jul 2026–16 Oct 2026 · year in progress
How these years work
Our reporting years run from 4 July to 3 July, starting with the 2024 general election. They are not official parliamentary sessions. Office costs keep IPSA’s April–March financial years. Records may cover only part of a year; a missing record does not mean no work was done.

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps she is taking to raise the case of Lindsay and Craig Foreman with her US counterpart.
Answer: As the Foreign Secretary has said, Craig and Lindsay's detention in Iran is completely appalling and unjustified. We regularly engage likeminded states on issues of mutual interest, including the detention of our nationals abroad.
