Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she has had discussions with her US counterpart on that country’s designation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a foreign terrorist organisation.

Whilst the Government keeps the list of proscribed organisations under review, we do not routinely comment on whether an organisation is or is not being considered for proscription.

The Home Secretary routinely discusses counter-terrorism and state threat issues with her counterparts in the United States. It is not appropriate for the Government to provide a running commentary on those discussions.
