Labour — Doncaster North

Speaking in the House of Commons on 27 October 2026

Debate

Topical Questions

Contribution

I gently remind the right hon. Gentleman that the House of Commons has primacy in our legislative arrangements. That is a long-standing convention, I would say. On his point about the courts, at a time when international law is under threat across the world, we should be defenders of international law, and we absolutely believe that maintaining a base at Diego Garcia is consistent with that.
