Early day motion 991, tabled 5 March 2009 by Lord Swire (Conservative). Signed by 36 members.
That this House believes that remarks made by Ali Akbar Nateq-Nouri, adviser to the Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Al Khamenei, claiming that Iran has legal sovereignty over the Kingdom of Bahrain risk jeopardising diplomatic relations and stability within the region; and calls on the Iranian government to give an unequivocal statement of support to the Kingdom of Bahrain as a sovereign and independent state.
