Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Hannay of Chiswick (Crossbench). It was answered on Monday, 26 February 2007.


Iran

Question
My Lords, could the noble Lord confirm that it remains government policy to support the recommendation of the Baker-Hamilton report that Iran, along with Iraq’s other neighbours, needs to be firmly engaged in an effort to stabilise Iraq? What are the Government doing about getting that support?
Answer

My Lords, we continue to work to engage with Iran, as I said in my opening comments. We have, alongside that, made clear our objections to the interference that has taken place in Iraq, but that does not alter the general trajectory of diplomatic approach as a key implement in this matter. We are trying to ensure that all those who engage in the international community take that view.
