Proceeding contribution from Lord Garnier (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 February 2017. It occurred during Debate on bill on Cultural Property (Armed Conflicts) Bill [Lords].


Cultural Property (Armed Conflicts) Bill [Lords]

I am very sympathetic to the shadow Minister, the hon. Member for Cardiff West (Kevin Brennan). He has ploughed a lonely furrow, but has done so with great elegance and humour. At least he can claim to have 100% support from the representatives of the Labour party today. I am not entirely sure that I can, but I will have a go and see whether I can tempt the House towards supporting my amendments—amendments 1, 2 and 3. I am very happy to say that they were co-signed by my hon. Friends the Members for Kensington (Victoria Borwick) and for North West Norfolk (Sir Henry Bellingham). Like the shadow Minister, although we are few in number we are very high in quality.
