Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab will meet the parents of a British teenager killed in a car crash involving an American woman who was granted diplomatic immunity.

Mr Raab will meet Harry Dunn's parents, Charlotte Charles and Tim Dunn, at 4pm at the Foreign Office in central London.

The foreign secretary met the US ambassador to the UK on Tuesday to request the return of Anne Sacoolas, who flew to the US after the fatal crash in Northamptonshire in August.

Police believe Mrs Sacoolas, 42, pulled out on to the wrong side of the road as she emerged from RAF Croughton – a US spy base – on 27 August.

The 19-year-old suffered multiple injuries and died later in hospital.

Speaking to Sky News hours before going to meet Mr Raab, Mr Dunn said: "We hope she's going to be coming back for justice for Harry."

There have been questions over whether Mrs Sacoolas should have been granted diplomatic immunity as her husband, Jonathan Sacoolas, does not appear on a list of registered diplomats.

The Foreign Office insisted he was an accredited diplomat in the eyes of the British government, therefore his wife was entitled to diplomatic immunity.

Harry's parents told Sky News on Monday they want Mrs Sacoolas to return to the UK to face them, criticising her for leaving the country.

They said they did not "necessarily" want her to be punished.
