<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>Dominic Raab met the 19-year-old’s parents, Charlotte Charles and Tim Dunn, last week.</p>
<p>The teenager was killed when his motorbike was involved in a head-on collision outside RAF Croughton in Northamptonshire in August.</p>

<p>His parents met Mr Raab after Anne Sacoolas, the motorist allegedly responsible for the crash, was given diplomatic immunity and allowed to flee to the US after the crash.</p>
<p>Family spokesman Radd Seiger told the PA news agency: “They were twitchy (at the meeting with the family). There were three lawyers in the room – why would you bring three lawyers into a room with a grieving mother? Why?</p>
<p>“There were 12 people in a room – for a meeting that was supposed to be him expressing his condolences.</p>
<p>“He (Mr Raab) was stiff, he was cold, he was unpleasant, he was rude. Then three days later we get another letter.</p>
<p>“That isn’t right.”</p>

<p>His comments came as the family demanded an investigation over the Foreign Office’s (FCO) advice to Northamptonshire Police that Ms Sacoolas had diplomatic immunity.</p>
<p>They are demanding to see all emails, messages and notes sent in relation to her immunity status.</p>
<p>Speaking in New York, Mr Seiger said: “We want to conduct an investigation into the FCO’s decision to advise Northamptonshire Police that this lady had the benefit of diplomatic immunity.</p>
<p>“What we don’t know is whether somebody cocked up or whether they were put under pressure by the Americans to concede.”</p>
<p>If they are not happy with the documents, the family say they will then ask for a judge’s opinion on the lawfulness of the FCO’s decision.</p>
<blockquote><p>Something is not right. We will not rest until we get the truth</p></blockquote>

<p>Mr Seiger added: “If we’re not satisfied, then we’ll go to a judicial review and ask a High Court judge to review it all.”</p>
<p>On Saturday, before the family left for the US, they received a letter from Mr Raab, saying that Mrs Sacoolass, 42, no longer had immunity.</p>
<p>“The letter is worded very carefully, they’re not saying it’s just a change of heart – they are saying that it’s an evolution,” said Mr Seiger.</p>
<p>He also said that the family’s lawyers, Mark Stephens and Geoffrey Robertson QC, believe “they’ve (the FCO) been lying to you”.</p>
<p>Ms Charles and Mr Dunn said: “We were astonished last Saturday to receive the hand-delivered letter from the FCO indicating that Mrs Sacoolas did not in fact have diplomatic immunity.</p>
<p>“We were still reeling from our terrible meeting with Dominic Raab, Foreign Secretary, last Wednesday, just three days earlier, where he was adamant that Mrs Sacoolas did have immunity.</p>
<p>“Something is not right.</p>
<p>“We will not rest until we get the truth. We will not let Harry passing be in vain.”</p>
<p>Mrs Sacoolas has said she is “terribly sorry” about the incident and that she had “no time to react” when she saw Mr Dunn’s motorbike.</p>

<p>Her lawyer, Amy Jeffress, told the Mirror: “Anne was driving on the wrong side of the road and is terribly, terribly sorry for that tragic mistake.</p>
<p>“She wants to meet the family and apologise and take responsibility. Anne had no time to react when she saw the motorbike.”</p>

<p>Ms Jeffress, from US firm Arnold &; Porter, said the diplomat’s wife also stayed at the scene and flagged down other people to help the teenager.</p>
