EMBARGO: Immediate Release

The Liberal Democrats have demanded a retrospective vote on the government's military action in the Red Sea on Houthi rebels.

Commenting, Liberal Democrat Foreign Affairs spokesperson, Layla Moran MP said:

“Parliament should not be bypassed. Rishi Sunak must announce a retrospective vote in the House of Commons on these strikes, and recall Parliament this weekend. 

“We remain very concerned about the Houthi’s attacks. But that makes it all the more important to ensure that MPs are not silenced on the important issue of military action.”
