Lead Contributor
Opened the debate
Ms. Sarah Jones moves to disagree with the Lords' amendments 2H and 2J but proposes alternative amendments (a) to amendment 2F and (b) to amendment 2G, arguing that providing a running commentary on proscribing an organisation like the IRGC is not how responsible Governments operate.

Ms. Caroline Nokes supports the Government's motion insisting on amendments 439C and 439D, noting that the IRGC poses a significant threat to national security with credible threats in the UK. She interjects to highlight recent news of six Iranian women facing execution for protesting, urging the Government to proscribe the IRGC.
Ms. Joy Morrissey argues that proscribing the IRGC is necessary for national security, citing multiple credible threats from the organisation in the UK and its role in funding extremist groups. She urges the Government to reconsider and accept these Lords amendments.
Mr. Max Wilkinson supports the case for proscribing Iran-linked groups, noting recent antisemitic activities fuelled by Iranian funding and urging Members to recognise the threats posed by such organisations.
