Labour — Rhondda and Ogmore

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 October 2026

Debate

Drumcree

Contribution

When I received the section 9 letter on Friday morning, I had no idea when the court was going to come to its conclusions, and obviously I had been asked—and am required by law—to consult with the Parades Commission and the Chief Constable, as I did. That is the process I followed. I do not want to stray further into that process, simply because all of this is subject to legal challenge.
