Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what discussions his Department has had with his counterpart in Iran on Iran's (a) nuclear programme and (b) diplomatic relations with Israel.

The UK and Iran, as parties to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action on Iran's nuclear programme, regularly discuss Iran's nuclear programme, both bilaterally and in the Joint Commission with France, Germany, the US, China, Russia and the EU. The upgrade to full diplomatic relations with Iran in 2016 enables us to discuss all manner of issues, including regional affairs and Iran's policy towards Israel.
