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 international partners on the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

We cannot allow the Iranian regime to exploit the global economy, threatening vital trade routes and driving up prices for British families.

The Foreign Secretary has pressed his Iranian counterpart directly to end its reckless behaviour and threats to shipping in the Strait.

The Foreign Secretary has spoken on this issue with the US, E3 and Gulf partners, as well as other international counterparts.

I have also engaged partners including Oman, Bahrain, Pakistan, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan and Turkey.
