Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent assessment he has made of Iran's compliance with UN Security Council Resolution 1701.

We continue to have serious concerns about Iran's support for the military wing of Hizbollah, including the provision of significant financial resources, training and weapons. The UK believes that this Iranian activity is in contravention of UNSCR 1747, which prohibits the export of weapons by Iran, and inconsistent with the objectives and purpose of UNSC 1701.
