Labour — Southend West and Leigh

Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 March 2026

Debate

Middle East

Contribution

I thank the Prime Minister for his measured response so far. I have spoken to former constituents and friends who are British expats in the UAE. While they feel confident that the local Government there are doing all that they can to protect them, for clarity, will they too be considered for evacuation by the FCDO should it become necessary?
