Madam Deputy Speaker (Caroline Nokes)
Can I respectfully suggest to colleagues that by the time they get on to page 2 of their question, that question is too long?
Mark Sewards (Leeds South West and Morley) (Lab)
The Iranian regime kills its own people, funds terrorist proxies in Hamas and Hezbollah, backs Putin’s aggressive war in Ukraine, and now puts British civilians and our armed forces in the firing line. By some accounts, it is already a failed state. I absolutely back the Prime Minister’s decision to allow UK military bases to be used by the US for defensive strikes, given the attacks on our bases in the Gulf and Cyprus, but does he agree, given the threat that Iran poses on our streets here, that the absolute minimum we should do is proscribe the IRGC, along with any other organisations that threaten British civilians?
The Prime Minister
I can assure my hon. Friend that we keep that under review, and we have already put in place a considerable number of sanctions.
