Milling – Saudi Arabian executions

In an urgent question to foreign minister Amanda Milling, Conservative MP Crispin Blunt asked for a government statement on the executions that took place during the weekend.

Milling told the House that the government were “shocked” and repeatedly explained that the UK are in a position talk “frankly” with Saudi Arabia on this and other issues.

On of the questions that Milling received was from Caroline Lucas, who described the “contradiction” in the government ending dependence on Russia fossil fuels, but replacing them in a deal with “another murderous tyrant”.
