Neil Parish – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Neil Parish on 2016-03-21.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what assessment he has made of recent reports of Iran testing a new long-range ballistic missile.

Mr Tobias Ellwood

Reports that Iran carried out ballistic missile tests earlier this month are of great concern. These tests are inconsistent with UN Security Council Resolution 2231, and the UK is raising these concerns in writing with the UN Security Council. The UK continues to urge Iran to refrain from further tests.
