Archbishop Stephen today asked a question in the House of Lords in response to a Government statement on Iran. The question follows in full.
“My Lords, I have a very simple humanitarian question relating to what the Minister has just said. We do not know how many people have died, how many are injured or how many are missing, but we do know that the internet in Iran has been brought down. Simply, the restoration of the internet would allow family members to be in touch, to seek those who are missing and to know more of what is happening. What representations are the Government making on that issue, which would bring some solace to so many deeply hurting families in this appalling situation?”
This contribution by the Archbishop of York, as well as the debate, is published in full in Hansard.
