Imran Khan: Imprisonment

Contribution

I thank my noble friend for that question. Obviously, there is an important difference between the cases of Jimmy Lai and Imran Khan, because Jimmy Lai is British. We have specific responsibilities and obligations towards our citizens that, whatever else we might think about these cases, do not apply in the same way when we are talking about someone of a different nationality. However, I assure my noble friend that Ministers and officials have raised, in the appropriate way, as she would want them to do, our concerns about cases when we need to, including the case of Imran Khan.
