Text
I thank the Member for the question, but the reality does not change: there will not be political agreement on the issue. We have to be honest about that. I have said that from day one, and it remains my position. It will not change. It is for the British Government to take forward whatever actions they select for their armed forces. They will not come through the Executive Office.
