Stephen Doughty

Labour (Co-op) — Cardiff South and Penarth

Speaking in the House of Commons on 16 March 2026

Debate

Strait of Hormuz

Contribution

The hon. Member will know that it is not for me to answer at the Dispatch Box about US operational matters. He has just had a chance to ask the Defence Secretary questions on detailed UK operational matters. I will not go into the details of specific deployments —where they may or may not be or timelines—because that simply would not be appropriate. This is an extraordinarily complex situation. What we need is a credible and viable plan.
