The government must reveal what concessions have been made to Iran in the pursuit of a deal over its nuclear intentions, MPs have said.

The United States and five other nations are negotiating with Iran to curb its nuclear programme. Diplomats have until June 30 to conclude a deal.

Leading a Westminster Hall debate on Tuesday, Conservative MP Guto Bebb said “real questions” must be asked about what monitoring there would be of Iran in the event of a deal.

Middle East Minister Tobias Ellwood said it was important “to make it clear that we are working hard for the deal, but we need to make sure we reach the correct one. Without the correct deal, we have no deal”.
