Baroness Chakrabarti (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 19 June 2025

Debate

Israel and Iran

Contribution

My Lords, does my noble friend agree that, where possible, whether in this dangerous situation or any other, without compromising secrecy or urgency, the House of Commons should be consulted before any deployment of UK forces? If he agrees with that proposition, and what was an embryonic convention under the Cameron Government, do His Majesty’s Government have any plans to enshrine that convention in statute?
