UK Support for Stability in Libya — [Siobhain McDonagh in the Chair] (18 Oct 2023)

Fabian Hamilton: .... I will now say why, as the hon. Member pointed out, it matters to us. Libya’s long Mediterranean coastline is within a few hundred miles of the southern flank of NATO, and there are over 500 Russian mercenaries controlling part of the country. Given the growing Russian aggression and involvement in Libya, this has clear security implications for the alliance. The Opposition’s...

Backbench Business: Landmine Awareness — [Mr David Mundell in the Chair] (20 Apr 2023)

Fabian Hamilton: ...to turn now to the war in Ukraine, as many colleagues already have. It is shocking to realise that it will take a minimum of 365 months, at this point in time, to de-mine Ukraine as a result of Russia’s illegal and unprovoked invasion. That is about 30 years. If that does not summarise the true cost of these appalling weapons, nothing ever will. Based on a calculation that the war ends...

Non-proliferation Treaty: 50th Anniversary Review (13 Jul 2022)

Fabian Hamilton: ...this debate on behalf of my hon. Friend the Member for Brentford and Isleworth (Ruth Cadbury), who secured it. It could not come at a more important time, as all Members said, especially as Russia continues to recklessly wage an unjustified and illegal war in Ukraine. We have had a very interesting set of speeches, and there has been a lot of unanimity. I hope the Minister’s response...

World Press Freedom Day — [Mr Philip Hollobone in the Chair] (21 Jun 2022)

Fabian Hamilton: ...it is still severely limited across the world. In the hon. Member’s opening comments, he very appropriately remembered not only the journalists who have been killed for telling the truth about Russia in Ukraine, but others among the 29 journalists and two assistants who have been killed thus far this year. It is a tragedy. The hon. Member mentioned the wealthy people using our British...

Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office: Topical Questions ( 8 Mar 2022)

Fabian Hamilton: Vladimir Putin’s decision to severely restrict the BBC World Service in Russia is, I am sure all hon. Members agree, an attack on freedom of speech and on accurate, trustworthy, excellent journalism. The BBC has provided reliable information to the Russian people as Putin wages an illegal and unprovoked war, which he claims to do in their name. Will the Minister tell us what steps he is...

Westminster Foundation for Democracy: Funding ( 2 Mar 2022)

Fabian Hamilton: ...to build its democratic institutions. That is everything that Putin fears: democracies working together to prevent the horrific repression and human rights violations that we see in Putin’s Russia today. That is what he envisages for Ukraine, so it is vital that we do all we can in our Parliament to empower organisations such as the WFD, so that they can help prevent that. In Belarus in...

FCDO Staffing (16 Dec 2021)

Fabian Hamilton: ...recognise that the Government are overseeing a downgraded role for Britain nationally? These cuts could not have come at a worse time. Alongside the pandemic, we face challenges from an aggressive Russia and a more assertive China. We see persistent poverty and conflict, as well as climate change running out of control. We need a properly funded diplomatic and development Department to...

Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty ( 4 Feb 2019)

Fabian Hamilton: ...urgent question, Mr Speaker, and I thank the Minister for his statement. During the weekend, one of the main pillars of nuclear weapons treaties was suspended when first the United States and then Russia withdrew from the intermediate-range nuclear forces treaty. As the Minister said, it was only in October last year that I stood here asking an urgent question on this matter. Back then,...

Oral Answers to Questions — Defence: Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (26 Nov 2018)

Fabian Hamilton: ...time, however, the Defence Secretary appeared to be supportive of the United States’ decision. Will he clarify exactly what the Government’s position really is? Does he not agree that, while Russia has undoubtedly breached its obligations under the treaty, it would be far better for the United States to remain within the auspices of the treaty and work to improve Russia’s compliance?

International Freedom of Religion or Belief Day — [Mr Charles Walker in the Chair] (25 Oct 2018)

Fabian Hamilton: ...rescind that article of the penal code and to change its constitution. I will be interested to hear the Minister’s comments on that. The hon. Lady mentioned the Falun Gong.

It is an excellent organisation—here is a Labour shadow...

Nuclear Treaty: Us Withdrawal (25 Oct 2018)

Fabian Hamilton: ...helpful reply. As the Minister said, last week President Trump announced that the United States intends to leave the intermediate-range nuclear forces treaty, which was signed by the US and Soviet Russia in 1987. At that time, the threat of nuclear war brought the two great powers together at the negotiation table. The result of those negotiations was the elimination of all short and...

Backbench Business: Freedom of Religion or Belief — [Ms Karen Buck in the Chair] ( 1 Mar 2018)

Fabian Hamilton: ...as we have heard, in Nigeria and Eritrea. We have also talked about Nepal, which has criminalised Christian conversion and evangelism. We have not mentioned Jehovah’s Witnesses, who are banned in Russia, as the Government consider them an extremist organisation. Many of us may have our doubts about Jehovah’s Witnesses, but I would not call them a terrorist or extremist organisation. In...

Oral Answers to Questions — Defence: Cyber-Warfare Defence (27 Nov 2017)

Fabian Hamilton: ...Profile” yesterday on Yevgeny Prigozhin, otherwise known as Putin’s chef, and his so-called troll factory in St Petersburg. If the Minister heard it, he should be very concerned indeed about Russia’s increasing efforts at cyber-warfare and the threat of disruption it poses to our democracy and the defence of the realm. What steps are he and the Department trying to take to minimise...

Defence Expenditure — [Mr Peter Bone in the Chair] (27 Oct 2016)

Fabian Hamilton: .... My hon. Friend the Member for Sedgefield (Phil Wilson) spoke well, as always, being very knowledgeable in these things and being an active member of the Committee. He pointed to the threat from Russia. In my previous role in the foreign affairs team, I was responsible for our connections with NATO, where I went in June. We heard over and over again, from officials in Brussels and in the...

[Mrs. Joan Humble in the Chair] — BBC World Service (16 Dec 2008)

Fabian Hamilton: ...Service, which comes under the auspices of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and we therefore take a great interest in it. We were concerned that the hon. Gentleman would raise the issue of the Russian service, an issue that has been raised with me on recent visits to Moscow, where I am a regular visitor, as I know he is. I wanted to understand the rationale. I, too, have spoken to...
