Proceeding contribution from Lord Spellar (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 15 January 2024. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Defending the UK and Allies.
Defending the UK and Allies
Earlier this century, following threats of access to the Suez canal from Somali piracy, the international community united with a widely based taskforce to successfully suppress it. Now that the Houthis are threatening seafarers’ lives and international navigation—along with the trade and jobs that depend on it—will the Prime Minister seek the widest possible international taskforce to deal with that? Will he also support the people of south Yemen, who want nothing to do with these terrorists?
