Despite long and historic disagreements between successive UK Governments and Israel, it has remained a steadfast ally in counter-terrorist efforts to keep our people safe in this country. We are now embarked, it seems, on a full diplomatic dispute with Israel and tit-for-tat expulsions of diplomats. What advice was the Foreign Office giving Ministers on this matter, and what advice were the security services giving about our national security interest before this decision was taken?
Despite long and historic disagreements between successive UK Governments and Israel, it has remained a steadfast ally in counter-terrorist efforts to keep our people safe in this country. We are now embarked, it seems, on a full diplomatic dispute with Israel and tit-for-tat expulsions of diplomats. What advice was the Foreign Office giving Ministers on this matter, and what advice were the security services giving about our national security interest before this decision was taken?
We gave the most careful consideration to all of the issues involved, and indeed all of the risks. The Foreign Secretary and I took close advice from the security services and, of course, officials in the Foreign Office and in our embassies. The risk of the collapse of the two-state solution and the effect that would have on the middle east should concern us all. The risk is that it is dying before our eyes, and that requires us to have the courage to act. In the world that we are in, if Britain loses the confidence to lead on the world stage, where will we be? Where will this country be? It is right that we have taken this action. The Father of the House said yesterday that he “absolutely and fully” supports what my right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary is doing,
“standing up for freedom, for morality and for justice for all people in this world.”

Those were his words, and we take great heart from them.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what criteria the NHS Business Services Authority applies when determining whether a person has acted wrongfully or with any lack of care for the purposes of Regulation 2(3)(g)(ii) of the National Health Service (Penalty Charge) Regulations 1999, and how...

I am as keen as anybody to get on with discussing the Health Bill, but this topic is too serious an opportunity to miss, given that the hon. Member for Leeds Central and Headingley (Alex Sobel) has raised such important issues. I really commend his speech and his initiative. Everybody...

On the question of how the CQC leadership becomes conflicted, will my hon. Friend reflect on the fact that, in an Adjournment debate I held in July, the then Patient Safety Minister, the hon. Member for Birmingham Edgbaston (Preet Kaur Gill), made it clear that the person responsible for deciding...

I would very much have liked to have discussed the medical devices questions arising from the Bill. The Minister made an incredibly short speech about that important matter. It is quite clear that these provisions are part of the covert dynamic alignment with the EU and the covert rejoin agenda...

The Minister shakes her head, but she is yet to give a good reason as to why this measure is in the Bill.

I thank the Secretary of State for her announcement, which, however she dresses it up, is in fact a decision about common sense and listening. I put it to her that, in Essex, most of the district councils, the county council and most MPs want to stay with two-tier local...

As a rather lone voice in this debate, I do not complain that it is not going to be a balanced debate, but somebody has to make the case.

Indeed, there are a few of us, but what we are hearing is a group of aggrieved remain supporters who have never come to terms with their grief and remain ideologically committed to rejoining. To anybody who wants to have another referendum, I do not say, “Bring it on,” because...

I totally agree. Defence is a reserved matter for member states in the European Union. The European Union does not have any troops. NATO is the forum through which we operate, and it is NATO to which we should be committed, rather than setting up a rival defence organisation in...

The referendum was in 2016, but all the legalities of membership of the European Union, including the Dublin convention, applied until 2021. The small boat crossings were rocketing before Brexit. They have nothing to do with it.

The question of scrutiny was raised by the Minister’s colleagues. In the absence of a European Scrutiny Committee, how is this stuff going to be scrutinised if he brings in direct applicability and direct effect of European laws?

That this House notes the substantial economic, educational and soft power contributions made by international students to the UK; further notes research from the Higher Education Policy Institute estimating that international students contribute £41.9 billion annually to the UK economy and also figures from the Department for Education that show that education exports, driven largely by international students’ tuition fees, living expenses and discretionary spending while in the UK, generated £29.3 billion in export value in 2022; also notes that this economic value is spread across the UK with evidence showing that every £1 million of university revenue generates between £2.3 million and £2.5 million in additional regional economic output, supporting employment and local businesses; expresses concern that the proposed international student levy would reduce the attractiveness of the UK as a destination for global talent and could undermine the international competitiveness of the UK’s higher education sector; notes research suggesting that the introduction of such a levy could result in significant reductions in international student numbers, with consequential impacts on economic growth, university finances and hence opportunities for domestic students; and therefore calls on the Government to publish, within one year of the implementation of the international student levy, a full assessment of its impact on international student recruitment, universities, regional economies, research capacity, opportunities for domestic students, and the UK’s global competitiveness as a destination for higher education.
