Lord Callanan (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 26 March 2026

Debate

Former Prime Minister Imran Khan

Contribution

My Lords, I believe that we are about to start voting soon, but I will make a start. I, too, want to thank the noble Baroness, Lady Alexander of Cleveden, for securing this important debate on a vital matter. I think the whole Committee is clear—and we certainly agree—that Pakistan must uphold its constitutional and human rights responsibilities in all cases. I am sure that we will agree that this principle applies in the case of Imran Khan as well. We share the noble Baroness’s concern about Mr Khan’s health, and we welcome that the Government regularly raise the need to uphold Pakistan’s constitution and international human rights obligations, as the Minister confirmed in response to an Oral Question on 25 February this year.
