Baroness Chapman of Darlington (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 December 2025

Debate

British Embassy in Damascus

Contribution

It is not based on legal advice as far as I am aware; I think it is just about making sure we do things in successful and sustainable way. It shows the reason why we are so reluctant to withdraw from a city or a country; once you have withdrawn and no longer have an embassy, it is very difficult and always takes time to re-establish that presence.
