Mr Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi

Labour — Slough

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 November 2026

Debate

Defence in the High North

Contribution

Thank you for that steer, Madam Deputy Speaker. I thank the hon. Gentleman, who is ever present in the Chamber, for his question. The Committee did not look into the capabilities offered by the Royal Irish Regiment, but it is true that it needs to be strengthening their capabilities and training because Britain can only succeed if all regiments are fighting together, just as we can only succeed more widely if we are fighting alongside our NATO allies. We need to deter the threat before there is any conflict or crisis.
