HC Deb 28 November 1979 vol 974 c692W
Mr. Wall

asked the Lord Privy Seal if he will now consult the United Kingdom's NATO and EEC partners with a view to closing all the embassies of member States of those bodies in Tehran.

Mr. Hurd

We are in close touch with our EEC and NATO partners about developments in Iran. None of them considers that the closure of our embassies in Tehran at this stage would be a helpful step.
