Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Lord Hammond of Runnymede and Jesse Norman

Monday 14th July 2014 Commons Chamber

[Mr Hammond]

My right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary will make a statement shortly. The role of the MOD in this matter is not central and I hope it remains not central; it is a Foreign Office lead and I am sure my right hon. Friend will be happy to answer the hon. Lady’s question more fully.

[Jesse Norman (Hereford and South Herefordshire) (Con)]
