Speaking in the House of Lords on 15 June 2026

Debate

Middle East: Iran Conflict

Contribution

My Lords, the Minister has a busy life but she may remember that, at the beginning of this invasion, I asked her about C-SIPA, the treaty between Bahrain, the United Kingdom and the United States. I followed that up with a letter of detailed questions and I was promised a response, which I have yet to receive. Perhaps the Minister can answer now. Given that this is a treaty of mutual support, at what point does it become relevant and why has it not been relevant to date in keeping those waters clear?
