The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what estimate he has made of the quantity of chemical compounds imported by Iran from China since 2025.

Answered by Al Carns

The Ministry of Defence cannot comment on the specifics of chemical importations by the Iranian regime, as doing so could provide an advantage to those who may seek to harm the UK.
