Proceeding contribution from Alistair Carmichael (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 January 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Gaza.
Gaza

Surely, in the circumstances, it is unthinkable that we should issue export licences to Israel until we have what is not just a ceasefire but a peace deal.
