Davey on Houthi strikes: Vital Parliament has its say 

24 Jan 2024

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to the latest set of strikes on the Houthi rebels, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey said:

"Liberal Democrats are concerned about the Houthis’ attacks in the Red Sea and so we support the case for limited strikes, so long as they remain limited. 

"However, it is absolutely vital that Parliament has an opportunity to have its say, via a debate and a vote. The Prime Minister has so far failed to grant either. It is deeply disappointing that elected representatives are being bypassed on an issue as important as military action."
