Proceeding contribution from Bill Rammell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 January 2009. It occurred during Debate on Gaza.
Gaza
I respect the passion and conviction of my hon. Friend. She has spoken to me privately about her concerns. I genuinely do not believe that economic sanctions will help us. There is nothing like consensus for them within the European Union, and our overriding focus at present is to get that urgent, immediate and sustainable ceasefire. I do not believe that sanctions would help us to do that.
