Proceeding contribution from Tom Levitt (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 29 November 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Lebanon and the Middle East.


Lebanon and the Middle East

There are many ways in which Israel could help to correct the problems caused by the deliberate and direct military actions taken earlier this year, and it would be in its best political interest to be seen to be doing so. I am not sure how useful some of the information that my hon. Friend mentioned would be. I believe that some of it is available. When one cluster bomb dropped from an aeroplane explodes in the air, the 644 bomblets that come out can cover an area of 200 sq m. That means that specific grid references, although I am sure that they exist, are not necessarily that helpful.
