Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what assessment he has made of Iran's compliance with Modified Code 3.1 in the subsidiary arrangements to its Comprehensive Standards Agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency.

The IAEA is responsible for ensuring Iran complies with its Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement. According to the IAEA, Iran is failing to implement modified Code 3.1. Under a comprehensive agreement, Iran will need to comply fully with its obligations under modified Code 3.1 in order to reassure the international community that Iran’s nuclear programme is entirely peaceful in nature.
