Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent assessment he has made of the prospects of achieving a comprehensive deal with Iran on nuclear issues.

Negotiations to ensure Iran’s nuclear programme is peaceful have been tough, but we have made progress. We believe a deal which addresses our concerns is possible. That is why negotiations were extended until 30 June. We believe the twin track policy of sanctions and negotiations is yielding results.
