Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 June 2026

Debate

Preparedness for National Emergencies

Contribution

I thank everyone for participating in the debate this afternoon, in which we heard the different range of threats that the UK is undoubtedly facing. I urge the Minister to continue to work across Government wherever possible, particularly on the threats to energy infrastructure, subsea cables and other items that were brought up by Members. We must ensure that such work is co-ordinated through Government, and that the public are fully aware of the level of threat that we face. I thank the Minister for his response. Question put and agreed to. Resolved, That this House has considered preparedness for national emergencies.
