Speaking in the House of Lords on 5 January 2026

Debate

Muslim Brotherhood

Contribution

The Minister has said he cannot comment on the Question from the noble Lord, Lord Godson. But is it not correct that the Prime Minister himself has made a statement to lawyers Adam Wagner KC and Adam Rose that has subsequently been reported? He made an absolute commitment to expand the UK’s sanctions regime, and that has been reconfirmed, since the conversation with the Prime Minister, by the Middle East Minister Hamish Falconer. The disclosure has gone beyond the public statements from that Minister and referred to targeting organisations around Hamas and organisations like Hamas. Of course, we know that Hamas has described itself as the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. Would the Minister like to comment to confirm if that is correct?
