Foreign Secretary Liz Truss today struggled to detail how many more Brits are still being held hostage in Iran as she justified Britain’s relations with Gulf States marred by human rights violations.
Appearing before the Foreign Affairs Committee Ms Truss was asked how many other detainees are being held in the state and how much progress has been made to secure their release.
The Tory leadership hopeful swerved the question and instead told MPs that officials "continue to press the Iranian government on the release of all detainees".
