Yvette Cooper

Labour — Pontefract, Castleford and Knottingley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 December 2025

Debate

Jimmy Lai Conviction

Contribution

I think many of the points the hon. Lady raises I have already addressed, but she raises an important further point about our economic security, for example in relation to critical minerals and energy infrastructure. I take those issues immensely seriously. There is more we need to do, working with the G7 countries and other countries around the world, on how we retain our energy security and our wider economic security, and recognise the ways in which China is operating across the world that can cause real challenges to that economic security.
