Volume 714: debated on Monday 2 November 2009

Question

Asked by

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they have made, or will make, representations to the appropriate authorities concerning the possible change of name of the street where the Iranian embassy is located to Neda Agha-Soltan Avenue to mark the death of Neda Agha-Soltan following the election in Iran in June. [HL5702]

We have no plans to make representations on changing the name of the street where the Iranian embassy is located. We have repeatedly made clear our concern over the violence, detention and deaths of Iranians which followed the Iranian presidential elections in June, including the killing of Neda Agha-Soltan.
