Poulter – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent reports he has received about Iran testing a guided long-range ballistic missile.

Mr Tobias Ellwood

Reports that Iran carried out a ballistic missile test earlier this month are highly concerning. We believe such a test constitutes clearly a violation of Iran’s obligations under UN Security Council Resolutions. We have taken appropriate action to bring this matter to the attention of the Security Council.
