Oral Answers to Questions

Tonia Antoniazzi Excerpts

Wednesday 4th March 2026 Commons Chamber

[The Prime Minister]

American planes are operating out of British bases—that is the special relationship in action. British jets are shooting down drones and missiles to protect American lives in the middle east on our joint bases—that is the special relationship in action. Sharing intelligence every day to keep our people safe—that is the special relationship in action. Hanging on to President Trump’s latest words is not the special relationship in action.

Q10. In 2018, this House legislated to allow the prescription of medicinal cannabis for children with drug-resistant epilepsy after a campaign spearheaded by my late good friend Hannah Deacon for her son, Alfie, yet many families are still paying around £1,300 a month due to conflicting guidance from multiple agencies. Does the Prime Minister recognise that this is not the will of the House, and will he agree to work with me and the Secretary of State for Health to secure the modest £2 million required for an observational study to relieve these families of this unacceptable burden?
