Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps her Department has taken to hold Iran to account following Iran reneging on its agreement to keep Morad Tahbaz out on furlough; and whether the Government has requested that any restrictions be imposed on Iran's access to IMS funds as a result.

The Iranian Government committed to releasing Morad from prison on indefinite furlough and has failed to honour that commitment. Continuing his horrendous ordeal sends a clear message to the international community that Iran does not honour its commitments. We continue to urge the Iranian authorities at every opportunity to release him immediately. Morad is a tri-national and we are working closely with the United States to secure his permanent release and departure from Iran.
