Andrew Rosindell – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Andrew Rosindell on 2015-10-19.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what steps his Department is taking to fully implement the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action with Iran.

Mr Tobias Ellwood

The UK is committed to implementing fully the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) with Iran. Following ‘Adoption Day’ on 18 October, FCO officials attended the inaugural meeting of the Joint Commission, the body established to monitor implementation of the JCPOA. They will continue to work closely with their E3+3, EU and Iranian counterparts as we move towards Implementation Day to ensure that implementation of the JCPOA gives the international community confidence that Iran’s nuclear programme is, and will remain, exclusively peaceful.
