uin	HL10381
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/10/2023 answer text <p>As stated by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General, Iran's decision to withdraw accreditation from several experienced IAEA inspectors, including experts with unique knowledge of uranium enrichment technology, affects in a direct and severe way the ability of the IAEA to effectively conduct its inspections in Iran. The removal of accreditations on 16 September means that approximately one third of the core group of the Agency's most experienced inspectors cannot work in Iran. This action highlights Iran's increasing lack of cooperation with the IAEA - this cooperation is vital to provide assurances that Iran's nuclear programme is exclusively peaceful.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 05/10/2023 15:13:06 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

This action highlights Iran's increasing lack of cooperation with the IAEA - this cooperation is vital to provide assurances that Iran's nuclear programme is exclusively peaceful. France, Germany and the United Kingdom continue to stand in strong support of the IAEA and the international safeguards verification regime. In a joint statement published on 18 September 2023 by the UK, France, Germany and the United States we set out that Iran must immediately reverse these inspector de-designations and fully cooperate with the IAEA to enable them to provide assurances that Iran's nuclear programme is exclusively peaceful.</p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 17/10/2023 13:11:43 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/05/2023 answer text <p>It is the longstanding policy of successive British Governments that we do not comment on intelligence matters. The UK Government closely follows the security situation in the Middle East and maintains a regular dialogue with international counterparts on this. Iran's escalation of its nuclear activities is threatening international peace and security and undermining the global non-proliferation system. A viable deal was put on the table in March and again in August 2022 which would have returned Iran to compliance with its Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA) commitments and returned the US to the deal. Iran refused to seize a critical diplomatic opportunity to conclude the deal with continued demands beyond the scope of the JCPoA. Iran's actions over the past months have made progress towards a diplomatic solution much more difficult. We are considering next steps with our international partners.</p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 03/05/2023 16:58:10 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley

The discussion covered the range of our concerns about Iran's behaviour, including its continued nuclear escalation.
