<p>The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action applies only to Iran’s nuclear programme,
but offers a real opportunity for Iran to normalise its relations with the international
community. Reopening our Embassies in August 2015 offers greater opportunity to discuss
a range of issues, including consular cases. We regularly raise our concerns on all
consular cases, both in London and Tehran. Most recently the Foreign Secretary, my
Rt Hon. Friend the Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond), raised them with
Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif on 17 May, and the Parliamentary Under-Secretary for
Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my Hon. Friend the Member for Bournemouth East (Mr
Ellwood), raised them with the Iranian Charge d’Affaires in London on 18 May.</p>
