Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 September 2026

Debate

Saudi East-West Oil Pipeline

Contribution

My Lords, this is my first opportunity to welcome my noble friend to the Benches. As a former wing commander, she adds real expertise and stature to the Labour Benches and indeed to the House. I welcome her response, but does this terrible attack on the pipeline not also indicate that the White House is responsible for terrible blunders of diplomacy in the Middle East? The Conservative leader asked us to back this; the consequences have been appalling, and the Government are now wrestling with that.
