Proceeding contribution from Ed Davey (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 January 2009. It occurred during Debate on Gaza.


Gaza

No, I will not give way. On Monday, the Minister gave me some reassurance, but we need to hear more about how we are monitoring the use of British arms that are sold to Israel and how the inspection process works. The Minster should give more detail. Will he also tell us how we can be assured that arms that we sell to other countries—whether the United States or elsewhere—do not end up in Israel's hands? We sell components for F-16s to the United States, which we know it has sold to Israel. There are concerns, and I hope that the Minister will reassure me.
