Proceeding contribution from Baroness McIntosh of Pickering (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 20 July 2026. It occurred during Private notice question on Strait of Hormuz: Merchant Shipping.


Strait of Hormuz: Merchant Shipping

My Lords, none the less, the military personal in those bases in Oman and Bahrain will be at some degree of risk. What reassurance can the Minister give the House? When I visited Bahrain and Kuwait with HMS “Cumberland” through the Armed Forces Parliamentary Scheme, I was immensely impressed by the work that they do there, so how can we keep them safe?
