The Prime Minister
I think we should look at all options, and I think this is one of the options that should be taken very seriously. That is what we are doing. It is important.
Ben Maguire (North Cornwall) (LD)
I commend the Prime Minister’s efforts to galvanise Europe and make it clear that Ukraine’s security is Europe’s security. Given President Trump’s reluctance to support Ukraine, is it not time that the Government bring forward emergency legislation to seize Russian assets, which can directly support the defence of Ukraine and its people?
The Prime Minister
I think the hon. Gentleman has heard my answer on that. We are looking at what can be done, but it is complicated, and it has got to be done—if it is to be done—with others.
