Islamic Human Rights Commission: Foreign Influence Registration Scheme

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether the Islamic Human Rights Commission is required to register under the enhanced tier of the Foreign Influence Registration Scheme.

Answer

It is longstanding policy that the Government does not comment on individual cases.

Iranian state-owned organisations do not automatically have to register with FIRS. Individuals or entities will only need to register under FIRS if they are carrying out activities in the UK at the direction of the Iranian state.

The Government will be publishing an annual report setting out, among other things, the number of registrations, number of information notices issued, the number of persons charged with an offence and the number of persons convicted of an offence. The first report will be published as soon as practicable after 30 June 2026.
