§ Mr. Greg Knightasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many Iranian servicemen have received medical treatment in the United Kingdom during the last six months, what was the cost of such treatment; and at whose expense such treatment was given.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeI understand that during the past six months, visas have been issued to 37 Iranian servicemen to travel to this country for medical treatment and that treatment has been given in private hospitals and paid for by an Iranian organisation. We have no information on the costs involved nor on the numbers who have actually travelled.
