Liberal Democrat — Newbury

Speaking in the House of Commons on 10 September 2026

Debate

Ukraine and Russia

Contribution

I want to welcome the Secretary of State to his place, and to say how pleased I am that the hon. Member for Plymouth Sutton and Devonport (Luke Pollard) remains a member of the Defence team. On 19 March last year, I asked the former Prime Minister about seizing Russian assets. There is reportedly £185 billion-worth of Russian assets in Europe, £30 billion of it in the UK. The Prime Minister responded, “it is complicated—it is not straightforward—but we are working with others to see what is possible.”—[Official Report, 19 March 2025; Vol. 764, c. 347.] Will the new Administration now act, as they have done on Gaza, which the Government previously said was too complicated? [Interruption.]
