Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent discussions he has had with his US counterpart on the Government of Iran's position on human rights.

The UK regularly discusses with the US a variety of issues related to Iran, including our shared concerns about their human rights record. The UK is committed to holding Iran to account on a wide range of human rights issues, and will continue to take action with the international community and through the UN to press Iran to improve its poor record.
