uin	226213
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/03/2015 answer text <p>Iran's oil revenues have been drastically constrained by sanctions. So while a fall in the oil price will have an impact on Iran's public finances and economy this will be less significant than if sanctions were not in place: Oil revenues were c.12% of Iran’s GDP last year. The extent of the impact will be affected by the length of time oil prices will stay low.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 10/03/2015 16:25:58 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2015 answer text <p>Under the Joint Plan of Action (JPoA) the E3+3 committed, for the JPoA's duration, not to introduce new nuclear-related sanctions against Iran. The Government believes that further sanctions legislation between now and 30 June - when the JPoA expires - would severely undermine Iranian confidence in the negotiations on a comprehensive nuclear agreement and would risk derailing the process. This is why the Prime Minister, my right hon. Friend the Member for Witney (Mr Cameron), made the case against new sanctions legislation on his recent visit to Washington.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 02/02/2015 15:03:36 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
