Jim Shannon

Democratic Unionist Party — Strangford

Speaking in the House of Commons on 10 November 2026

Debate

Submarine Service 125th Anniversary

Contribution

In my contribution, I referred to the critical role that Northern Ireland played during the second world war. I also paid tribute to what the submariners and the Royal Marines did in the conflict in Northern Ireland by stopping illegal weapons coming from the Republic of Ireland into Northern Ireland. Does the Minister agree—I know he will—that we are not often told about that critical role for our security?
