Baroness Chapman of Darlington (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 7 January 2026

Debate

Middle East and North Africa

Contribution

It is right that the people of Iran should be free to live their lives as they wish and to have a Government who reflect their wishes, and that women, in particular, in Iran should be free to live and to conduct their lives in the way that they want. There is no ambiguity about the UK Government’s position on any of these things. We support the people of Iran in their endeavours to bring about the open, free society that we would all wish to see.
