Business of the House

Lord Hanson of Flint Excerpts

Thursday 5th September 2019 Commons Chamber

[Mr Rees-Mogg]

I was unaware of that, but it is deeply shocking that the representative office of so close an ally should be attacked in the United Kingdom. We should take every measure, as part of our diplomatic obligations, to protect the offices of all embassies in this country, but particularly those of friends. It is a matter that I am sure the Foreign Secretary will take most seriously.

[David Hanson (Delyn) (Lab)]

Is next Monday’s fixed-term Parliaments motion under the Fixed-term Parliaments Act 2011 or another mechanism?

[Mr Rees-Mogg]

As I said earlier, the motion will be put down later today.
