tabling member printed	Lord Blencathra
uin	HL341
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/10/2019 answer text <p>​I am saddened that a minority of protesters have resorted to violence in Catalonia. It is important that all parties work to resolve their political differences peacefully and in line with the Spanish legal framework and constitution. The Government has been clear that the situation in the Autonomous Community of Catalonia is a matter for Spain, and that questions related to the issue of independence should be resolved within the proper constitutional and legal channels. The Minister for Europe and the Americas recently outlined this position to the Spanish Ambassador, and in Parliament on 15 October.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 31/10/2019 15:26:46 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

uin	HL342
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 deeply concerned by Iran's steps to reduce compliance with the deal. 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
