Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Wedderburn of Charlton (Labour). It was answered on Monday, 12 January 2009.


People’s Mujaheddin Organisation of Iran

Question
My Lords, will my noble friend reassure the House in clear and absolute terms that every future vote cast by Her Majesty’s Government will aim at the removal of the word ““terrorist”” in relation to the PMOI?
Answer

My Lords, let me be clear: at the end of this month there will be a decision on this issue by Ministers at the European level. Let me be equally clear that the UK will, both in the working meetings that precede that decision and at the time of the decision itself, urge respect for the decisions of the courts.
