00:00Well, the Prime Minister will have far more detailed security briefings than I have access to.
00:04But I do think we need to start from first principles.
00:07Britain has protected freedom of navigation for centuries.
00:11However, I'm quite worried about the planning.
00:13It's not clear that the Prime Minister is working in concert with other countries.
00:18There don't seem to have been plans in place.
00:20We had minesweepers in that region which were moved away.
00:24So what I want to see is that the Prime Minister is working with our allies in the Gulf, with
00:29the U.S. and elsewhere to make sure that he is delivering for the British national interest because this war
00:34is having an impact on our borrowing rates, stock markets, even the price of energy.
