While I agree with everything that is being done, I hope that the Government are considering taking one step further to put pressure on the Iranian regime. I refer to proscribing the IRGC. In opposition, the Labour Party was very clear on this—so clear that the Minister’s colleague, the noble Lord, Lord Coaker, put down an amendment to a trade Bill on which I was happy to vote with the Labour Party. I hope that the Government will continue to try to find a way to proscribe the IRGC; it is the only way that the pressure will tell on the Iranian regime. I totally support these regulations. I just hope that the Government can go a stage further.
