Oral answer to question provided on Monday, 27 February 2006 in the House of Commons, by Lord Reid of Cardowan (Labour), Ministry of Defence.


Iran

Answer

International concern, to which the history of deception about the development of nuclear capacity, as testified to by the International Atomic Energy Agency, gives rise is only heightened by statements such as those that the hon. Gentleman mentioned. The international community is united in ensuring that Iran does not develop nuclear capacity. That would be destabilising for the whole world, not only one area of it.
