Yvette Cooper

Labour — Pontefract, Castleford and Knottingley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 19 January 2026

Debate

Arctic Security

Contribution

I can tell the hon. Gentleman that, as the Foreign Secretary, I take economic security issues immensely seriously. It is why we are strengthening the work around critical minerals and the economic security that comes from international supply chains. He will know that there are issues around critical national infrastructure that also underpin our economic security. This is taken immensely seriously right across the Government, including on the National Security Council.
