answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/01/2017 answer text <p>​It has long been our position that Israeli settlement activity is illegal and undermines the viability of two states for two peoples, but it is far from the only obstacle to peace. UN Security Council Resolution 2334 addresses settlements while also calling for an end to incitement and terror. The resolution passed on 23 December and asks the Secretary-General to report to the Council every three months on the implementation of its provisions. We will monitor the situation closely.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 13/01/2017 13:35:36 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/04/2016 answer text <p>16 January 2016 marked Implementation Day of the Iran nuclear deal which, along with the subsequent lifting of international sanctions, has the potential to represent a new era in Iran’s relationship with the wider world. Since the Foreign Secretary reopened our Embassy in August 2015, significant progress has been made in developing the bilateral relationship between the UK and Iran. We welcomed Foreign Minister Zarif to London on 4 February 2016, in what was the first bilateral visit of an Iranian Foreign Minister since 2003. We look forward to the Business Secretary leading a trade delegation to Tehran in May, building on previous visits by Lord Maude and Transport Minister Robert Goodwill.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 25/04/2016 16:03:41 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
