Proceeding contribution from Andrew Pelling (Independent (affiliation)) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 January 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Gaza.


Gaza

In answering questions, the Foreign Secretary has spoken with confidence to suggest that the strong restriction on the export of weapons to Israel means that they have not been used to repress the Palestinian people. Will he clarify whether he feels that some of the weapons that had been given licences have been used to kill Palestinians? If that is true, is there a case for further restricting the export of such weapons?
