Written Question
Iran
Tuesday 2nd December 2014

Asked by: Pauline Latham (Conservative - Mid Derbyshire)

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent assessment he has made of the prospects of achieving a comprehensive deal with Iran on nuclear issues.

Answered by Lord Hammond of Runnymede

Negotiations to ensure Iran’s nuclear programme is peaceful have been tough, but we have made progress. We believe a deal which addresses our concerns is possible. That is why negotiations were extended until 30 June. We believe the twin track policy of sanctions and negotiations is yielding results.
