Mr Calvin Bailey

Labour — Leyton and Wanstead

Speaking in the House of Commons on 19 January 2026

Debate

Arctic Security

Contribution

This week’s tensions highlight the strategic importance of the Greenland-Iceland-UK gap and the urgent need for Europeans to fill the gaps in their ability to defend that space. Currently, that can be done only by the United States of America. Will the Foreign Secretary update us on the Government’s discussions with our European counterparts on strengthening our defence industries? What discussions have there been on full access to Security Action for Europe?
