Proceeding contribution from Mike Gapes (Change UK - The Independent Group) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 3 July 2019. It occurred during Ministerial statement on G20 and Leadership of EU Institutions.


G20 and Leadership of EU Institutions

I am very disappointed that the Prime Minister did not mention in her statement the 500,000 dead, the 11 million people displaced from their homes and the millions from Syria in refugee camps in neighbouring countries. In her discussions with President Erdoğan and Prince Mohammad bin Salman, and with the UN Secretary-General and with Putin, did she do anything to press on them the need for a political solution in Syria, an end to this conflict, and a stop to the Russian bombing of hospitals and the killings of civilians that are taking place at this very moment in Idlib and elsewhere?
