Tell MPs if Yemen strikes are ‘continuous' - Commons Speaker

The Commons Speaker said MPs “must be informed at the earliest opportunity” of any UK action against the Houthis in Yemen.

The Iran-backed Houthis have been attacking ships they say are linked to Israel and the West that travel through the Red Sea.

But Sir Lindsay Hoyle would not be drawn on whether there should be a Commons vote on further action, saying he would wait for the prime minister to speak before making "that judgement call”.
