Proceeding contribution from Keir Starmer (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 2 March 2026. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Middle East.
Middle East
I am not going to disclose the full advice. International law does not just have an important role to play; it is vital if we are taking action that involves our personnel. That is why I took advice, and I have published the summary of that advice. I said that I will look at the shadow Attorney General’s advice. if he is setting out a lawful basis, I would be very interested to read it.
