The UK is working to remove Iran from a UN body dedicated to women’s rights.
David Rutley, a foreign office minister, was answering an urgent question about the protest in Iran.
He said the UK was working with the US and others to remove Iran from the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women.
Mr Rutley said the protest had seen more than 300 deaths – of which 43 were children.
The demonstrations started two months ago after Mahsa Amini, 22, died in custody after being detained by “morality police” for allegedly breaking strict hijab rules.
There have been large protests in numerous parts of the country, as well as smaller, individual actions like clerics having their headwear knocked off and women breaking rules on wearing head coverings.
Mr Rutley said death sentences are now likely to increase.
