Proceeding contribution from Lord Anderson of Ipswich (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 23 June 2026. It occurred during Debate on bill on National Security (State Threats) Bill.


National Security (State Threats) Bill

The Minister has referred a number of times to humanitarian aid and to diplomacy. Of course diplomats have a special defence or exemption of their own, but he has not said anything about those engaged in the prevention or resolution of conflict. I wonder if he would like to associate them with the statements he has made about humanitarian aid.
