	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/06/2014 answer text <p>The UK implements EU and UN sanctions against Iran – it does not independently impose financial sanctions on Iran. The UK is firmly committed to ensuring compliance, including working with partners to freeze assets, authorising and monitoring relevant transactions, and investigating alleged sanctions breaches. EU financial measures apply within the EU and to EU nationals and entities rather than directly to Iranian businesses based outside of the EU. However, Her Majesty's Treasury continue to ensure that the assets of designated Iranian entities, held in the UK, remain frozen.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Hugh Robertson question first answered 17/06/2014 08:18:34 answering member 1415 label Biography information for Sir Hugh Robertson

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/06/2014 answer text <p>The current negotiations with Iran are the best opportunity in years to resolve the issue of Iran's nuclear programme. Negotiations so far, which have built on the Geneva interim deal, have been constructive, but challenging: any deal will require Iran to take significant steps to address comprehensively our proliferation concerns. However, there remains commitment on all sides of the table to reach a deal.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Hugh Robertson question first answered 17/06/2014 08:17:01 answering member 1415 label Biography information for Sir Hugh Robertson
