will be urgent situations, particularly when we�*re on joint operations, where it simply isn�*t possible always, or even wise always, to consult parliament beforehand because of the disclosure of information, and that�*s why having been briefed on the operation this week i haven�*t called for anything more than the statement that i�*m expecting from the prime minister tomorrow. you also said back then that you had a commitment to review all uk arms sales, would you still do that if you win the election? yes, we still need to carry out that review of arms sales. and would you, as you used to say, stop selling arms to saudi arabia? well, we will do a review of the sales, look at the countries and the relationships that we have, obviously that follows a review. but you used to say, you said in february 2020, we should stop the sale of arms to saudi arabia. is that still your position? we will review the situation and the review will give us the answer to those questions.
