Dr Al Pinkerton

Liberal Democrat — Surrey Heath

Speaking in the House of Commons on 14 January 2026

Debate

UK-France Relations

Contribution

My constituency was home to the Free French forces during the second world war, and that is representative of the kind of security relationship our countries have had in the past. May I urge the Government, through the hon. Gentleman, and in the spirit of strategic futures, to get back round the table and to ensure that we have a safe and secure SAFE—Security Action for Europe—deal to allow the UK to take part in common European defence?
