Oral Answers to Questions

Alex McIntyre Excerpts

Wednesday 15th October 2025 Commons Chamber

[The Prime Minister]

We look across the board at threats to our democracy, and must continue to do so. I will not comment on the particular case, given the state of legal proceedings.

[Alex McIntyre (Gloucester) (Lab)]

Q6. Next year marks the 75th anniversary of the battle of the Imjin river, where the 29th Infantry Brigade’s last stand prevented the capture of Seoul during the Korean war. That hill is now called Gloster Hill as a proud testament to the incredible bravery of one of those battalions, our glorious Glosters. Will the Prime Minister join me in calling for a commemoration of the glorious Glosters, and all those who fought to defend democracy, liberty and freedom in South Korea?

[The Prime Minister]

I join my hon. Friend in marking the heroism and sacrifice of the 29th Infantry Brigade, which is an enduring example of the bravery of all our armed forces. I know that Defence Ministers would be happy to discuss commemorating their courage. Our debt to the armed forces underlies our commitment to veterans, which includes delivering homes for heroes and a new network of veteran support centres, backed with £50 million.
