Mr. Corbyn

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when he last raised the matter of human rights and political prisoners with Ministers or officials of the Turkish Government.

Mr. Garel-Jones

Turkey's human rights performance is regularly discussed between members of Her Majesty's embassy in Ankara and officials in the Turkish Foreign Ministry. At ministerial level, the subject was most recently raised by the then Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs during a visit to Ankara on 20 June.
