Traditional Unionist Voice — North Antrim

Speaking in the House of Commons on 20 April 2026

Debate

Security Vetting

Contribution

This House and the country are being asked to believe that, although the right hon. and learned Gentleman is the Prime Minister, and provoked a raging controversy while making the United Kingdom’s most critical diplomatic appointment, he never asked if his nominee had been security vetted. Is that not staggering and incredible? What was the role of our National Security Adviser? What does he know? Could the House be told that?
