Oliver spoke yesterday in the Commons debate on the deal reached between Iran and the P+1 nations (China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States) to restrain its nuclear capabilities.

He made the point that it is important that Iran sticks to the terms of the deal and that it is properly monitored and enforced.

Oliver was pleased to receive reassurances from the Foreign Secretary, Philip Hammond, when he raised this question in the House of Commons.

The text of Oliver's question and the answer he received can be found below:

Oliver Dowden (Hertsmere) (Con): Many of my constituents still have concerns about whether this deal will be strictly enforced, in particular in respect of the inspectors’ ease of access to facilities and whether those facilities can easily be switched back. What further reassurances can the Foreign Secretary give the House?

Mr Hammond: As I said in answer to an earlier question, I am confident that the access regimes are robust and the monitoring regimes—with CCTV cameras, telemetry control and seals on pieces of equipment and so on—will be effective, and the IAEA is assuring me it is confident it can do the job asked of it. All this is of course supplemented by the satellite surveillance capability, which will allow us to see anything that is happening in buildings or on sites targeted for access if there is any delay in achieving that access. I think we can be reasonably confident that overall this regime will work.
