Iran

Asked the Government’s view on the Iranian elections the Prime Minister’s Official Spokesman (PMOS), said that the Foreign Secretary had said this morning on the way into the GAERC in Brussels that the elections were flawed, in light of the fact that a large number of candidates were prevented from standing. Asked why, given that we already knew the elections were being undermined, we had allowed Prince Charles to go to Iran recently, the PMOS said that no one disputed that Iran had made considerable progress towards greater political freedom in the last ten years, although clearly this was a set back. It had been made clear at the time of Prince Charles’ visit that it had not been a political visit as such, but humanitarian in the wake of the terrible earthquake at Bam.
