Iran: Travel Restrictions

Volume 479: debated on Monday 21 July 2008

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many requests for exemptions from UN travel restrictions on Iran have been received by the committee established pursuant to UN Resolution 1737 (2006); and how many of these have been granted. (217312)

Since its inception, the Committee has received only one notification, from the Russian Federation, of the travel to Moscow, pursuant to paragraph 10 of UN Security Council Resolution 1737 (2006), of an individual subject to the travel notification requirement. A notification received from Indonesia, regarding the travel to Jakarta of an individual working for the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran, was subsequently established as unnecessary as the individual was not listed under the relevant resolutions.
