Thank you. Order. Questions to the Prime Minister? Mr. Varendra Sharma.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Question number one. The Prime Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I first say that the UK is deeply concerned about rising tensions between India and Pakistan

and urgently calls for restraint on both sides to avoid further

escalation. We are in regular contact with both countries urging dialogue and diplomatic

solutions to ensure regional stability. We are working closely with international partners,

including through the UN Security Council, to de-escalate tensions and are monitoring

developments closely

and considering implications for British nationals.

Mr. Speaker, I understand that Eve Griffith O'Kai in your office retires at the end of the week.

She has worked for four speakers, and I'm sure the whole House will want to join me in wishing

her the very best for the future.

Mr. Speaker, this morning I had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others. In addition to my duties in this House, I shall have further such meetings later today.

Mr. Verendra Sharma.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and thank you for the initial response.

Mr. Speaker, in the face of her total failure to secure the agreement of this House,

when will the Prime Minister call time on this farce extend Article 50 and put her

deal versus the remain to the people?

Yes.

First of all, I say to the Honourable Gentleman, I made a statement in the House yesterday

and answered 82 questions in the House yesterday on these issues.

We will be bringing a meaningful vote back by the 12th of March.
