Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Campbell-Savours (Labour). It was answered by Lord Howell of Guildford (Conservative) on Tuesday, 8 June 2010.


Israel and Gaza

Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what recent discussions they have had about the situation in Israel and Gaza.
Answer

My Lords, the United Kingdom is in regular contact with the Israeli and Palestinian Governments and our international allies regarding the current humanitarian situation in Gaza and the wider issues relating to the peace process. As my right honourable friend the Foreign Secretary said in the other place, it is essential that there should be unfettered access to Gaza, not only to meet the humanitarian needs of the people of Gaza but to enable reconstruction of homes and livelihoods and permit trade to take place.
