Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Penny Mordaunt and John Lamont

Monday 20th May 2019 Commons Chamber

[Penny Mordaunt]

I am happy to give the hon. Gentleman that reassurance. I will go into more detail on the matter when I respond to the urgent question later, but that is the Government’s policy. The hon. Gentleman is wrong about our training with Saudi Arabia, just as the leader of the Labour party has been wrong on the Falklands, on Sierra Leone, on Syria, on Kosovo, on Russia and on Crimea, and wrong about Hamas, Hezbollah, al-Qaeda and the IRA. That is why decisions about national security should remain with a Conservative Government.

[John Lamont (Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk) (Con)]
