Watch again: Oliver Dowden faces Angela Rayner at PMQs as Rishi Sunak attends Nato summit
Oliver Dowden faced Angela Rayner at Prime Minister’s Questions (PMQs) on Wednesday, 12 July.
The deputy prime minister filled in for Rishi Sunak, who is at a Nato summit in Lithuania where he told Volodymyr Zelensky that Ukraine belonged in Nato.
On the 2nd and final day of the summit in Vilnius, the prime minister will also attend the inaugural meeting of the Nato-Ukraine Council and give a press conference afterwards.
Mr Sunak has been working with allies to deliver a non-Nato multilateral defence and economic agreement for Ukraine, which all members of the G7 are set to sign, to give it long-term back up against current and future Russian aggression.
The prime minister has said the pact has the potential to “homecoming peace to Europe”.
