Conservative — New Forest East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 9 February 2026

Debate

Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps

Contribution

Does the Minister accept that the IRGC is responsible for many acts of terrorism? While we appreciate the difficulty that arises from its being a state organisation and the reluctance to proscribe a state organisation, is it not a fact that Jonathan Hall, the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, has come up with a formula to allow that to happen? If so, why do the Government not bring it forward with the maximum speed?
