Baroness Stuart of Edgbaston Excerpts

Tuesday 2nd June 2026 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Chapman of Darlington (Lab)]

That is an interesting suggestion. We have expertise in doing that kind of work, where appropriate, but it needs to be done alongside the relevant authorities, so that we make sure that we move things along in a way that is sensitive to the context—if I can put it that way. I am happy to speak to colleagues to find out whether that is something that the UK is actively considering at the moment.

[Baroness Stuart of Edgbaston (CB)]

My Lords, the noble Baroness mentioned all the organisations that we are working with. Could she say more about how supportive of, and in line with, our colleagues from the United States we are on this policy?

[Baroness Chapman of Darlington (Lab)]

All our allies and partners take positions; sometimes they are different, and we sometimes take different approaches to these issues. But our position is very clear: we will be consistent with the agreement that was entered into. We take seriously our duty to stick to those principles.
