Sir Oliver raised his concerns over the situation in Iran and the United Kingdom's position on it. 

He asked a question to the Prime Minister following his statement on the matter. 

Oliver asked: "Given that the Prime Minister has outlined that the Iranians attacked a United Kingdom sovereign base at Akrotiri, why does that not form the basis for legal military action against the Iranians, not just hosting US forces on our bases, but taking direct action at source against the launch of such missiles, as we did in relation to the Iranian proxies, the Houthis, in previous conflicts that he supported? Moreover, given the Iranians' ability to exercise malign influence on the streets of this country, what reassurances can he give the House and the public at large about coordination across our intelligence and securities capabilities to address this heightened threat on our streets?"

The Prime Minister responded: "In relation to the second point, can I tell him there is coordination going on for that very reason, as I set out in my statement. There have been 20 Iranian-backed plots to take action on our streets, all of which have been thwarted. And I pay my respect to our security and intelligence services and the work that they do. In relation to the point he makes, there were two separate decisions made over the weekend. We are in the sky taking action defensively on our allies.  Among the reasons we agreed to the request from the US yesterday is because they have the capability to take the missile launchers out in Iran and that is why We gave them the permission to use our bases in order to reduce the threat to our citizens."
