HC Deb 18 January 1980 vol 976 c870W
Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Prime Minister if, in view of her public statements of support for President Carter in his attempt to put pressure on Iran to release the United States of America hostages held in that country, she will expel from the United Kingdom those Iranian nationals receiving military training.

The Prime Minister

No. Neither the United States nor ourselves has yet considered it appropriate to terminate these training programmes. We are, of course, keeping in close touch with the United States and other Western Governments in the context of measures concerning Iran.
