asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will now give details of the clarification provided on 5 March by the Syrian authorities of the reasons why a Syrian national, Mr. Marwan Lostan, was in possession of a Syrian diplomatic passport at the time of his arrest on 20 January; and whether he will make a statement.

I have nothing to add to the answer I gave my hon. Friend on 18 April at column 252. We regard this incident as closed.
