Nadhim Zahawi backs Queen's Speech measures to counter terrorism

Nadhim Zahawi calls on all MPs to back provisions in the Queen's Speech to support the security services in countering extremism and terrorism.

Nadhim Zahawi (Stratford-on-Avon) (Con)

This is the first time we have come together since Manchester, London Bridge and, of course, Finsbury Park. Countering extremism and terrorism of all kinds must be a priority for the Government. Will my right hon. Friend join me in calling on all Members to give our security agencies the tools for which they have asked through the Gracious Speech, so that they can do their job properly?

 

The Prime Minister

I am grateful to my hon. Friend for his intervention. Given that I believe there is a desire throughout the House for us to deal with terrorism, and to drive out terrorism and extremism of all kinds, I hope that all Members will feel able to support the Government when we introduce measures in order to do just that.
