Iran
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assessment he has made of statements by the President of Iran denying the Holocaust.
- Answer
-
My right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary has condemned unreservedly the comments in which President Ahmadinejad denied the existence of the Holocaust. He has called the President's remarks wholly unacceptable, and said they have no place in civilised debate. President Ahmadinejad's remarks were also condemned by the United Nations Security Council and by European Union Heads of Government, with our full support.
