Proceeding contribution from Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 April 2026. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Ernest Bevin.
Ernest Bevin
I commend the hon. Gentleman for securing this debate. My Strangford constituency has a very proud military and industrial heritage. I believe Bevin’s role in founding NATO and his unwavering support for a strategic nuclear deterrent are just as vital to his legacy. Does the hon. Member agree that Bevin’s common sense, patriotic approach is something that all of us, on both sides of this House, stand to learn from today, especially when it comes to supporting our veterans and of course our national defence?
