Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the reply by Earl Howe on 25 October, what is their definition of state actor in relation to security issues; and why they use this term.
In the context of my response to Lord Tebbit in the Chamber on 25 October 2017 (Official Report, column 931), I used the term 'state actors' to mean members or former members of the security forces.
