HC Deb 29 June 2000 vol 352 cc580-1W
Mr. Healey

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when he is proposing to travel to Iran. [128754]

Mr. Hain

The visit to Iran of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs has been postponed, owing to the busy schedule and travel commitments of Dr. Kamal Kharrazi, the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Both he and Dr. Kharrazi are keen for the visit to proceed and will be consulting to find a mutually convenient date.
