Speaking in the House of Lords on 15 June 2026

Debate

Middle East: Iran Conflict

Contribution

I am proud of the decision that our Prime Minister made to ignore advice that he was given by the leader of the Opposition and others to involve this country in an ill-thought-out proposition. It was the right decision for the country, and it has enabled him to play the role he has now in contributing to keeping the strait open, clearing mines and deploying the equipment we have to secure safe passage for the ships that are contained there. We need to get the fertiliser, food and other goods moving.
