Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to remarks by Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park on 15 November (HL Deb, col 16), what assessment they have made of the international arbitration tribunal’s rulings on the £400 million payment to be made to Iran; whether they intend to pay it; if so, when they will do so; and what assessment they have made of the example this case may set to other governments.

I refer the noble. Lord to the answer I gave to the Rt Rev. the Lord Bishop of Chelmsford on 29 November 2021 to Question HL3988.
