HC Deb 19 January 1995 vol 252 c606W
Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the Iran Government's reaction to the UN resolution alleging human rights violations in Iran.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

The Iranian Government have yet to respond substantively to the Resolution passed on 23 December 1994 by the United Nations General Assembly. We urge the Iranian Government to respond positively by improving its behaviour and reducing cause for international concern with its record. If, as they have previously stated, the Iranians contest the accuracy of the information presented by the special representative they should let him visit Iran to investigate the situation for himself.
