In January, China announce…”

“On the security of the base, does my hon. Friend recall the visit to Washington DC that I think we both went on last year as members of the Foreign Affairs Committee? We spoke to many American interlocutors, including State Department officials. Over the course of an entire week in the US capital, not a single US inter…”

“Professor Hosoya, have Prime Minister Takaichi’s statements on the Taiwan contingency altered Japan-China relations?”

“I do not believe so, if we had sufficient notice.”

“Mr Ward, is there something to be learned from the point that Professor Delamotte was making about not over-politicising the debate and having a serious conversation about national security behind closed doors?”

“Ambassador, one area that other members of the Committee might be interested to know is what role members of the German Bundestag play in scrutinising the Government around fulfilling commitments that are outlined in the China strategy.”

“You talk about Japan’s relationship with Taiwan and Japan’s relationship with China. Of course, Prime Minister Takaichi has called a snap early general election to take place on 8 February. How prominently do you think the relations with China and with Taiwan are going to feature in that general election campaign over …”

“I think that that is certainly possible; it was the case in the debate that took place at the end of 2024. I mentioned sub judice in my comments.

“Okay. Thank you very much.”

“My hon. Friend is making a very powerful speech about the need for change in the law, and the impact on humans and animals. One of my constituents got in touch with me to talk about the massive detrimental impact that the irresponsible launching of fireworks had during bonfire night weekend. She talked about how the ne…”

“As a proud member of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, I thank the Foreign Secretary for her visit to our Marines at Camp Viking in Norway, and for her unequivocal stance in support of collective security with NATO at its heart. I welcome the Rycroft review of foreign interference in our politics. In the context of NATO…”
