answer text <p>We and other members of the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) receive quarterly reports on Iran's nuclear programme, the IAEA's efforts to address the Possible Military Dimensions of Iran’s nuclear programme, and the nuclear aspects of the Joint Plan of Action with the E3+3.</p><p>The IAEA Director General issued his latest report on the status of Iran’s nuclear programme on 29 May 2015; this confirms Iran continues to implement its commitments under the Joint Plan of Action. However, we remain disappointed by Iran’s limited engagement with the IAEA on Possible Military Dimensions.</p> more like this

answer text <p>We are aware of recent media reports of the Supreme Leader’s comments. A comprehensive nuclear deal with Iran that addresses our proliferation concerns will need to be fully verifiable by the International Atomic Energy Agency. This must include robust monitoring of Iran’s nuclear activities, and its implementation of the Additional Protocol, in order to reassure the international community that Iran’s nuclear programme is exclusively peaceful.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has monthly access to the reactor at Arak. The IAEA Director General’s 29 May Iran report confirms that Iran continues to abide by its commitments under the Joint Plan of Action. Access for the IAEA to Parchin remains an important but unfulfilled step. The Director General’s report reiterates that clean-up activities at the site are likely to have undermined the Agency’s ability to conduct effective verification, however it is imperative that Iran provides swift access as the Agency continues to request. We fully support their work on this crucial issue.</p> more like this

answer text <p>In December 2014, the Government committed an additional £7m dedicated to supporting victims of childhood sexual abuse (CSA). £2.15m has been given to the 84 rape support centres funded by the Female Rape Support Fund 2014-16 to ensure more victims are able to access support. In addition, over £1 million has been awarded to twelve organisations over two years to provide face-to-face and internet-based support for Male rape victims. The remaining £4.85m is being used by the Home Office to commission support such as counselling for victims of CSA during 2015.</p> more like this

We do not believe that anything in the November report indicates a violation by Iran of the Joint Plan of Action.
