Uma Kumaran

Labour — Stratford and Bow

Speaking in the House of Commons on 13 October 2026

Debate

Falkland Islands

Contribution

The House will understand that while legal proceedings are contemplated or under way, I will not provide a running commentary. The UK’s established position is that provisional measures ordered under the applicable international legal framework are binding on the parties, and that the UK complies with its international obligations. On the matters raised in relation to Chagos, the situation is in no way comparable.
