Iran

Debate between Luke Evans and Hamish Falconer

Wednesday 15th July 2026 Commons Chamber

[Mr Falconer]

That may not be the most controversial thing I say.

[Dr Evans]

Will we ever see the Cambridge Prime Minister at a debate?

[Mr Falconer]

I am sure the hon. Gentleman will not be disappointed. He had an opportunity to hear from the future Prime Minister yesterday, but the current Prime Minister is in place until the end of term, as he knows.

Let me move on to questions raised by Conservative Members, particularly about the statutory instrument. There was a question about the designation of the IRGC and the other two entities. I do not wish to prejudge the decisions of this House and the House of Lords, but I hope that the statutory instrument will be passed by this place immediately after this debate, and will make its way through the other place very swiftly, hopefully by the end of the week. The statutory instrument would then be in force by the end of the week.

Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Luke Evans and Hamish Falconer

[Mr Falconer]

Yesterday, the Foreign Secretary set out the long-standing position of Ministers on such determinations. Under the previous Government, the threshold that this House set Governments was whether there was a real risk. We have applied ourselves to that test, and we have found that there is a real risk. Our actions from September onwards have flowed from that determination.
