Further memorandum from the Foreign and
Commonwealth Office
Thank you for your letter of 13 June 2007 about
exports to Iran.
After careful analysis of the article attached
to your letter by officials at the FCO, BERR and HMRC, we have
determined that the article is factually inaccurate. We know of
no undeclared cases in which Iran has successfully obtained uranium
from third countries.
As the article is substantially inaccurate,
it would be inappropriate for me to speculate on the responses
to the questions raised in your letter.
I would however, like to take this opportunity
to make clear to the Committee, that while we know of no undeclared
cases in which Iran has obtained uranium, we are aware that Iran
could seek out suppliers of uranium in the future—in contravention
of UNSCR 1737. We remain vigilant about the activities of the
Iranians and any possible collusion by an UK individual or organisation.
We will as ever attempt to provide as much information
as possible to the Committee.
