Question: Whether the Iranian daily newspaper Resalat accurately reported the UK Charge d'Affaires in Tehran, whom they quoted as saying to Rajaii Khorassani, Secretary-General of the Islamic Consultative Assembly's Human Rights Committee and member of the Majlis' Foreign Policy Commission, that "the English Government condemns the atrocious terrorist acts of the Monafequin in Mashad and stresses that this group's terrorist record is clear to the English authorities...", and if not, whether HMG will issue a press release correcting the misquotation.
