Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is predicted to offer an announcement to the House of Commons later at this time after the UK joined the US in airstrikes towards Houthi rebels final week.
The navy motion – the primary ordered by Mr Sunak as PM – focused infrastructure of the insurgent group inside Yemen.
It got here after over two dozen assaults on business ships and navy vessels within the Red Sea since October.
The PM is predicted to set out in some element why the airstrikes had been a proportionate response to occasions, and argue that the UK should be ready to point out it’s ready to hold out its threats.
There had been calls, significantly from the Lib Dems and the SNP, for parliament to recalled on Friday to vote on the navy motion, however the PM selected not to take action and briefed essentially the most senior politicians on privy council phrases.
It is known that the defence secretary, Grant Shapps, held a cross-party briefing name with MPs on Friday.
We’ll have stay protection of the PM’s assertion throughout Sky News which we anticipate will take place at round 3.30pm, so do stick with us.
