Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat). It was answered by Lord Hague of Richmond (Conservative) on Tuesday, 29 October 2013 on behalf of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.


Iran (Nuclear Programme)

Question

What recent assessment he has made of the prospects for successful negotiations with Iran on its nuclear programme.

Answer

I welcome the more positive approach taken by the Iranian Government at the recent E3 plus 3 talks in Geneva. Foreign Minister Zarif presented a basis for negotiations and we have begun more substantive discussions on how to address the serious concerns about the nuclear programme. If Iran is willing to take the necessary first steps on its programme, we are ready to take proportionate steps in return.
