answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/10/2019 answer text <p>​We remain fully committed to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA), a key achievement of the global nuclear non-proliferation architecture, which is in our shared security interests. Since July, Iran has exceeded key JCPoA limits on uranium enrichment, uranium stockpiles and on 7 September announced suspension of the JCPoA's nuclear research and development restrictions.

We are working closely with remaining JCPoA parties to address this and we urge Iran to reverse the steps it has taken.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 30/10/2019 16:39:59 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
