During Prime Minister’s Questions on February 4, Sir Keir Starmer said that whenever his party filed a so-called humble address in the Commons while in opposition, he would include a national security exemption.
The Labour leader told the Commons: “When we were drafting humble addresses in opposition, we always made sure that that exemption was included because we knew how important it was to the then-government. I do not think I have seen a humble address without that exemption.”
