Syria

Debate between David Reed and David Lammy

Monday 9th December 2024 Commons Chamber

[David Reed (Exmouth and Exeter East) (Con)]

The situation in the middle east is extremely volatile, and the situation that has played out in Syria over recent days only adds to that instability. Has the Foreign Secretary had conversations in recent days with Ministry of Defence colleagues about the potential need to reinforce and bolster security at our sovereign base areas in Cyprus?

[Mr Lammy]

I reassure the hon. Gentleman that those discussions are ongoing, as he would expect given the extent of the challenges in the middle east, and particularly the challenges previously in Lebanon.
