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 effect of the Iranian regime's restrictions on the comprehensiveness of the International Atomic Energy Agency's inspections of Iran’s nuclear capability.

We note with great concern the recent law passed by the Iranian Parliament, which - if implemented - would substantially expand Iran's nuclear programme and limit International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) monitoring access. We are deeply concerned by Iran's continued and systematic non-compliance with its nuclear commitments under the JCPoA. The JCPoA remains the best means to monitor and constrain Iran's nuclear programme. It is imperative that Iran returns to compliance with its commitments under the deal, and this includes continuing to allow full IAEA access.
