We now come to questions Deputy Prime Minister.

Madam 1, Mr Speaker.

Deputy Prime Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

I've been asked to reply as my right honourable friend, the Prime Minister,

was attending their NATO summit in the Hague.

At this time of international volatility, we are working with our allies to de-escalate the

tensions in the Middle East and to ensure the conflict does not intensify further.

Our aim continues to be preventing Iran from securing nuclear weapon and to urge the Iranians

to return to negotiations. The situation in Gaza remains the gravest concern.

Seeing the return of more hostages, bodies, and that of Shea Leveson and the Israeli

with British family is heartbreaking. The remaining hostages must be released while aid must be delivered at greater

speed and volume. Mr. Speaker, this week is Armed Forces Week. Our commitment to

armed forces is unwavering. The Strategic Defence Review outlines how we will give our

armed forces better pay, better housing and better kit, and I pay tribute to their

commitment, bravery and selflessness. Mr Speaker, this morning I had meetings with

ministerial colleagues and others, and in addition to my duties in the House, I shall have

further such meetings later today.

Mike Tart. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The party opposite gave up on law and order. They betrayed our country

and let criminals run riots. Now they desperately post want-to-wana-be superhero videos

shamelessly pointing at the problems that they created. But last week, Mr Speaker, they had the chance to put it right.

And what did they do?
