Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how much his Department has given to each of the United Nations' specialist organisations in each of the past five years.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

My Department's contributions to the specialised agencies of the United Nations in each of the past five years are set out in the table.

rights group report on the extra-territorial interference by Iran with Iranian citizens in exile, a copy of which has been sent to him.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

We found the parliamentary human rights group's report on Iran a timely and useful contribution to the debate on Iran's human rights record. We remain seriously concerned at reports alleging Iranian responsibility for the assassination of dissidents in exile.

Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what investigations he has initiated into the recent allegations that the Iranian Government have given support to the IRA.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

Our investigations have shown conclusively that there have been contacts between Iranian intelligence and the IRA. We shall continue to watch Iran's actions very closely to satisfy ourselves that there are no further exchanges.
