Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Stephen Doughty and Sureena Brackenridge

Tuesday 2nd December 2025 Commons Chamber

[Stephen Doughty]

No matter how many times the hon. Gentleman repeats his wild claims about the cost of the deal, they are no more correct. I have been clear on multiple occasions about the cost of the deal. We will not scrimp on the national security of this country. The base is crucial for our security and that of our allies, and we have set out the costs very clearly.

[Mrs Sureena Brackenridge (Wolverhampton North East) (Lab)]

T2. The freedom to practise a faith or not is a fundamental human right. I welcome the Government’s commitment to promoting that for Christians and other religious communities through the appointment of the UK special envoy for freedom of religion or belief. Will the Minister explain how the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office continues to use its diplomatic networks and international partnerships to support all faith and non-faith communities worldwide?
