Mr Hamish Falconer

Labour — Lincoln

Speaking in the House of Commons on 19 January 2026

Debate

Iran: Protests

Contribution

The Foreign Office has a special relationship with the BBC, given our role in the World Service, which we have talked about already this session. I can confirm to the House that law enforcement is making full use of the powers afforded to it, including under the National Security Act 2023. It is under that Act that those associated with potential violence were arrested in May last year.
