Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what support his Department is providing to the Iranian community in the United Kingdom.

The Secretary of State, Ministers and officials are regularly engaging with faith, community and diaspora leaders as well as with local authorities who have Iranian constituents, providing an opportunity for the Iranian community to share how they are feeling, their concerns and any support needs. Further engagement with organisations supporting the Iranian community are being agreed.

We are aware that many in the Iranian diaspora in the UK are vocal in calling out the Iranian regime's unacceptable human rights record. We have been consistent in highlighting this record on the world stage and directly with the Iranian government. We continue to engage Iranian human rights experts in the UK.
