Proceeding contribution from Diane Abbott (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 January 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Gaza.


Gaza

The Foreign Secretary will be aware that of the 1,200 Palestinians killed in the recent conflict, a third were women and children. It is useful of him to keep repeating the British arms export criteria, but I ask him, once again, whether he is confident that no British arms—including those produced by an Israeli-owned arms manufacturer—have been used to repress the people of Gaza.
