British deputies already want a vote on sending troops to Ukraine – Politico

But they said that the administration said they shouldn’t “get ahead of itself. Politico asked Starmer during a trip to kyiv last month if he undertook to vote on the British soldiers of peace. He refused to give such a commitment.

‘United Front’

The deputies of the Westminster opposition parties also require the participation of the Parliament.

“We support the Prime Minister’s proposals on Ukraine – and we have also always supported Parliament having his say on military deployments,” said Helen Maguire, spokesperson for the centrist opposition party, Liberal Democrats.

“The Prime Minister should confirm that all the proposals will be put in Parliament, so that we have the opportunity to approve them,” added Maguire.

John Whittingdale, a longtime conservative deputy, said that the deputies “would expect the Parliament to debate and perhaps vote” Starmer’s proposal. Mark Garnier – A conservative spokesman for the bench before – said that “although the PMS can deploy forces without reference to Parliament, Tony Blair has established the previous one” now used. “Starmer should do the same,” he added.

Two other conservative deputies, John Cooper and Neil Shastri-Hurst, said they thought that the municipalities will want to have the opportunity to debate the issue. Cooper said it was “vital” to keep the Parliament aware of developments in order to preserve the “United Front of Parliament on Ukraine”.
