Oliver Dowden – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Oliver Dowden on 2016-03-24.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what progress has been made on implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action with Iran.

Mr Tobias Ellwood

The Government remains committed to the success of the deal. The IAEA’s 26 February report on Iran’s nuclear activities concluded that Iran was complying with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA). We have been working to help businesses take advantage of new commercial opportunities and to ensure that Iran benefits from sanctions relief.
