Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what (a) progress she has made on reaching an agreement with Iran on the repayment of the IMS debt and (b) commitment she has made to not renege on any repayment agreed by UK negotiators.

The IMS debt is a longstanding issue and we have been consistently clear that we continue to explore options to resolve this case. We will not comment further as discussions are ongoing.
