answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/09/2021 answer text <p>The SFO is aware of the allegations made in the BBC’s Panorama programme of 12 September 2021. Following a three-year investigation into the British American Tobacco, in January 2021 the SFO determined that this case did not meet the evidential tests as defined in the Code for Crown Prosecutors. As with all cases that fail this first limb of the Code, it was therefore not in the public interest to continue with the investigation.</p><p> </p><p>The SFO continues to assist its international law enforcement partners with ongoing investigations related to this matter and will assess any new material it receives. The SFO does not comment on the actions it takes to assess allegations.</p> answering member constituency Cheltenham answering member printed Alex Chalk question first answered 27/09/2021 11:30:53 answering member 4481 label Biography information for Alex Chalk

This will include using all opportunities during the upcoming United Nations General Assembly session.</p><p>We urge Iran to allow the Special Rapporteur for Human Rights in Iran access to the country, so that he can conduct research and investigations into human rights concerns reported there, including the events of 1988. Meanwhile, we have always been clear that Iran must uphold its own international legal obligations, including conducting thorough and independent investigations into suspected human rights violations, both past and present.</p><p>We are in regular contact with the Iranian Government and expect to engage with President Raisi on a number of issues now he has taken office, including human rights. We call on President Raisi to set Iran on a different course and commit to improving human rights in Iran.</p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly grouped question UIN 44303 44304 question first answered 15/09/2021 14:57:06 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly
