Proceeding contribution from Elfyn Llwyd (Plaid Cymru) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 January 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Gaza.


Gaza

I very much welcome the Government's offer of naval patrol boats as part of an EU force. Will the Secretary of State assure the House that their remit will place equal emphasis on preventing arms smuggling and ensuring the free and fair movement of humanitarian aid and medicines? That is vital. Also, will he assure the House that incidents such as the ramming of the MV Dignity a few days ago by Israeli gunboats will not be repeated when that remit is in place?
