Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Mike Hill and Gavin Williamson

Monday 27th November 2017 Commons Chamber

[Gavin Williamson]

Having had the opportunity to meet my opposite number from Romania, I am aware that one of the real threats that it continues to face is increasing pressure from Russia. Britain has a long and proud tradition of locating troops and resources in Romania, and we are continuing to do so with Typhoons operating in Romanian skies. Our commitment to that, along with the standing NATO naval task group, is an important bulwark against increasing Russian aggression on the eastern flank.

[Mike Hill (Hartlepool) (Lab)]

This coming Thursday marks the 36th anniversary of the disappearance of a young toddler, Katrice Leigh, from a NAAFI complex in west Germany. As the Royal Military Police’s Operation Bute is still live, will the Secretary of State agree to review the case and meet me, and my constituent Mr Richard Lee, Katrice’s father, to discuss the matter?

[Gavin Williamson]

I should be more than happy to review the case and meet the hon. Gentleman to discuss it in greater detail.
