UK MONITORING ‘FAST-CHANGING SITUATION’ – ARMED FORCES MINISTER
Read Time:30 Second
UK Armed Forces Minister Luke Pollard is giving a statement in the Commons about protecting UK military bases, and started speaking just minutes after the news from Qatar broke.
“This is a fast-changing situation and we are monitoring it closely,” he tells MPs.
He says he can’t give details at this stage – but adds “the UK government utterly condemns any escalation”.
“We have put force protection measures at its highest level to safeguard our personnel in the region,” he says, continuing: “We have robust measures in place to protect our armed forces personnel and their safety is our top priority.”
