Labour — Pontefract, Castleford and Knottingley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 13 January 2026

Debate

Iran

Contribution

The right hon. Member will understand that I cannot pre-empt the proper proscription processes that take place, or the use of future legislation in decisions that need to be taken by the Home Office and the Home Secretary, but I hope that I have conveyed to him that this is something I feel very strongly about. We need this legislation in place because of the nature of the complex and hybrid threats we face.
