An Urgent Question was agreed asking the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs to make a statement on the death of Mahsa Amini. The death of Mahsa Amini, and what is happening to women across Iran is deeply disturbing and heart-breaking. I stand in solidarity with those in Iran who are calling for freedom and the protection of their human rights.

Treasury Questions took place on Tuesday 11 October 2022. The EU agreed as part of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement to provide the UK with access to a range of science, innovation and space programmes – including Horizon Europe, Copernicus and Euratom. However, the EU is refusing to resume talks and grant the UK ‘association’ until Brexit related disagreements are resolved.
