Labour — Pontefract, Castleford and Knottingley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 3 March 2026

Debate

Iran: Human Rights Violations

Contribution

My hon. Friend will know that as Home Secretary, I commissioned the Jonathan Hall review exactly because I thought that the legislation might need to be strengthened. He has concluded that it needs to be strengthened to broaden existing counter-terrorism legislation to include state and state-linked threats. We will be taking that forward, and my hon. Friend will know that we keep all proscription decisions under close review.
