Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what discussions he has had with his Nicaraguan counterpart in that country's government's support for Iran's nuclear weapons programme.

We have not had specific discussions with the Nicaraguan government about any support it may be giving for Iran's nuclear programme. However, the UK remains clear in its determination that Iran must never develop a nuclear weapon. Iran's nuclear programme has never been more advanced than it is today. It is threatening international peace and security and undermining the global non-proliferation system. We are considering next steps with our partners.
