Proceeding contribution from Baroness Stuart of Edgbaston (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 March 2016. It occurred during Urgent question on Royal Naval Deployment: Mediterranean.


Royal Naval Deployment: Mediterranean

From Mare Nostrum in 2014, which we failed to finance properly, to the Frontex operations, there is a singular lack of strategy and sense of urgency. The deployment of Mounts Bay was actually announced two months ago, and I am not really clear on what it is doing that had not already been previously announced. On a very specific point, may I invite the Secretary of State to put in writing his understanding of the legal position of anybody picked up by Mounts Bay? Frankly, my understanding is closer to that of my hon. Friend the Member for North Durham (Mr Jones) than it is to the position the Secretary of State has just enunciated.
