Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Ben Wallace and Kieran Mullan

Monday 21st September 2020 Commons Chamber

[Mr Wallace]

As I say, it is a long-held policy of many Governments not to comment on special forces. They are accountable to me and to the law, and where we see any issues, Ministers will of course intervene. I will not commit to a further review; that is a longstanding policy. Our special forces do an absolutely amazing job saving lives around the world and protecting our citizens. They operate in the covert world to achieve that effect and make sure their lives are not put at risk.
