Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment his Department has made of the implications for his policies of the decision by the Iran Parliament to increase annual uranium enrichment to 20 per cent.

We are aware that the Iranian Guardian Council has approved a Bill to substantively expand Iran's nuclear programme. We are deeply concerned by Iran's continued systematic non-compliance with its nuclear commitments under the JCPoA. Along with his French and German counterparts, the Foreign Secretary has called for an urgent ministerial meeting of the JCPoA participants. Iran must engage seriously with our concerns and must not implement these measures.
