Sir Desmond Swayne

Conservative — New Forest West

Speaking in the House of Commons on 29 April 2025

Debate

Irish Republican Alleged Incitement

Contribution

The Minister has a point about the name. An Irish republican band with a name that must send a shudder down the spine of so many in Northern Ireland, and which the hon. and gallant Minister chooses not to use, ought to have raised alarm bells long before they got their hands on any public money. Is there any prospect of getting that money back?
