Finally, Amendment 422C calls for a review of any organisations related to the Iranian Government, with a view to considering whether they should be proscribed. The Liberal Democrats have long supported the proscription of the IRGC. It is sensible in the current circumstances—in the context of the war in Iran—that there should be consideration of other organisations connected with the Iranian Government. In the light of the oppressive and murderous treatment meted out to protesters and dissidents in Iran in January, it is very important to keep under consideration the issues of which organisations connected to the Iranian Government should properly be proscribed. So that is an amendment that we also support.
