Emily Thornberry

Labour — Islington South and Finsbury

Speaking in the House of Commons on 16 September 2025

Debate

Ambassador to the United States

Contribution

I will get to the end of this paragraph, and then I will give way. That is why yesterday my Committee asked the Foreign Office permanent under-secretary and the Cabinet Office head of propriety and ethics to appear before us and explain what went wrong. We have been told that no one is available before the recess, but we will continue to push for prompt and public answers.
