Labour — Pontefract, Castleford and Knottingley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 13 January 2026

Debate

Iran

Contribution

I set out in another response the importance of changing the legislation around proscription. We are working on further measures on the shadow fleet. The hon. Member will have seen the action that we have taken to support the US interdiction on the shadow fleet. He made a really important point about support for civil society. That is where the strength of the Iranian people lies.
