answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/07/2015 answer text The Iranians are fully aware of our concern about their military and financial support to groups such as the military wings of Hizballah and Hamas, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which are all proscribed in the UK. This support undermines the prospects for peace and stability in the Middle East. We have raised our concerns about such activity with the Iranian authorities on many occasions, and will continue to do so. answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 08/07/2015 12:58:38 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/06/2015 answer text <p>We are aware of recent media reports of the Supreme Leader’s comments. A comprehensive nuclear deal with Iran that addresses our proliferation concerns will need to be fully verifiable by the International Atomic Energy Agency. This must include robust monitoring of Iran’s nuclear activities, and its implementation of the Additional Protocol, in order to reassure the international community that Iran’s nuclear programme is exclusively peaceful.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 16/06/2015 13:45:00 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/06/2015 answer text <p>The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has monthly access to the reactor at Arak. The IAEA Director General’s 29 May Iran report confirms that Iran continues to abide by its commitments under the Joint Plan of Action. Access for the IAEA to Parchin remains an important but unfulfilled step. The Director General’s report reiterates that clean-up activities at the site are likely to have undermined the Agency’s ability to conduct effective verification, however it is imperative that Iran provides swift access as the Agency continues to request. We fully support their work on this crucial issue.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 16/06/2015 13:46:39 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/11/2014 answer text <p>The 7 November 2014 IAEA report into the status of Iran’s nuclear programme states that since September, Iran has intermittently fed natural UF6 into the single IR-5 centrifuge installed at the Pilot Fuel Enrichment Plant at Natanz as a part of its IAEA safeguarded research and development activities.
