	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2019 answer text <p>The UK’s relationship with Iran is complex and based on a long history. Maintaining a bilateral relationship with Iran provides an opportunity to hold discussions on a range of issues, including our consular cases, human rights and Iran’s role in the region. We do not agree on everything, and there are many areas in which we have real concerns, but through dialogue we seek to influence Iran’s views on the subject that matter to the UK. I have no plans to make a statement at this time. ​</p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 13/05/2019 16:26:29 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison
