answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/11/2016 answer text <p>As well as implementing EU autonomous controls for which the UK imposes export controls (dual use goods, nuclear technology, sensitive software and technical assistance etc), the UK also has national export controls that go beyond the EU measures. In particular there are two controls that cover the aviation and marine sectors.</p><p>The UK controls are contained on two lists: PL9008 for marine vessels and parts, and PL9009 for aircraft and parts.</p><p>These controls are not related to Iran's nuclear programme – they were imposed during the Iran - Iraq war on both countries. The controls have since been removed against Iraq and now apply only to Iran.</p><p>These controls do not prohibit the export of these goods but require an export license to be granted before they can be exported. Our controls are in place to minimise the risk of the goods being diverted for military use. A license application would judge whether this risk was great enough to reject it.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 15/11/2016 17:08:43 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/10/2015 answer text <p>We are aware of public reports that Iran released a number of senior Al Qaeda members. We continue to have concerns about Iran’s role in fostering international instability. The recent nuclear agreement has not changed our view on this. As part of the nuclear agreement, Iran will now begin to take required steps on its nuclear programme. These must be verified by the International Atomic Energy Agency before Iran benefits from any financial and economic sanctions relief.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 27/10/2015 14:53:50 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2015 answer text <p>Iran's support to militant groups across the Middle East, including Hezbollah and Hamas, is a source of concern. The Joint Comprehensive Plan Of Action does not address this issue as the E3+3 negotiations with Iran focused on the nuclear issue. But the prohibition on export of arms to and from Iran will continue and we will continue to respond - with our partners - to Iranian interference in the region. We call upon Iran to play a more constructive role in the region.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 20/07/2015 14:19:41 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
