Lord Hoyle

asked Her Majesty's Government:

When the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs is proposing to travel to Iran. [HL3107]

Baroness Scotland of Asthal

The visit to Iran of my right honourable friend the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs has been postponed, owing to the busy schedule and travel commitments of Dr Kamal Kharrazi, the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Both he and Dr Kharrazi are keen for the visit to proceed and will be consulting to find a mutually convenient date.
