answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/01/2016 answer text <br /><p>In taking any action in self-defence of the UK, we will take account of well-established principles of self-defence. As the Attorney General pointed out to the Justice Select Committee on 15 September 2015, the Caroline case goes back to the 19th century and was concerned with very different circumstances to those facing us now. However as the Attorney General also made clear, the principles still apply and action in self-defence may be lawful in relation to an attack which has not yet materialised but is imminent. In addition any such action must, like all other action in self-defence, comply with the requirements of necessity and proportionality.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 22/01/2016 13:34:09 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt
