Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, in the light of recent talks, what assessment they have made of whether Iran's aspirations to produce a nuclear weapon have ceased.

In the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, finalised on 14 July, Iran agreed that it will never seek, develop or acquire any nuclear weapons, and agreed to a far reaching set of measures to ensure that it will not be able to do so, including verifiable limits to its stockpiles of fissile material, numbers of centrifuges, nuclear research and development, and a re-design of its heavy water reactor at Arak. Having reached this important agreement, our focus and that of our E3+3 partners will now be on swift and full implementation to ensure that Iran abides by this and other commitments, and that a nuclear weapon remains beyond Iran's reach.
