Sir Keir Starmer

Labour — Holborn and St Pancras

Speaking in the House of Commons on 25 February 2025

Debate

Defence and Security

Contribution

I am not going to pre-empt the discussions I will have, but the hon. Gentleman makes an important point. I absolutely believe that we should play our full part in any security guarantees—if that is what happens; we do not even know whether we will get to that stage—but I also absolutely think there needs to be US backing for that, because I do not think a security guarantee will be operative without that backing.
