That this House acknowledges the second anniversary of the International Court of Justice's Advisory Opinion on 19 July 2024, which noted that Israel’s continuing presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPTs) is unlawful; regrets the Government's continuing and unjustifiable failure to provide the UK's assessment on the Court's opinion; believes that the UK is failing to meet its obligations in relation to the Court's opinion; recognises that only a two-state solution and a lasting peace can deliver security and dignity for both Israelis and Palestinians; further recognises that securing progress towards a two-state solution requires consistent and robust action to end Israel's occupation; further regrets the continuing administrative and arbitrary detention of Palestinians across the OPTs ; calls therefore on the UK Government to immediately publish its response to the Court; urges the Government to work with international partners to press the Israeli Government to allow journalists and human rights investigators full access to Gaza to support the collection of evidence of war crimes there; further calls on the UK Government to meet its commitments to uphold international law, including by banning all UK trade in goods and services with illegal Israeli settlements, by sanctioning Ministers responsible for facilitating and encouraging illegal expansion, including Prime Minister Netanyahu, and by banning all UK arms exports to Israel including F-35 components.

That this House expresses continuing concern over the ongoing detention of Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, the former Director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, following his arrest by Israeli forces in December 2024; notes with grave concern reports that he continues to be held without charge or trial under Israel's controversial Combatants Law, that his detention has been repeatedly extended, and that credible reports indicate he has been held in prolonged solitary confinement and denied adequate medical care; further notes the vital role played by Dr Abu Safiya in providing medical care under extraordinarily dangerous conditions and in bearing witness to the destruction of Gaza's healthcare system; reaffirms that international humanitarian law affords special protection to medical personnel carrying out their professional duties during armed conflict; calls on the Government to continue to make urgent representations to the Israeli authorities for the immediate release of Dr Abu Safiya or, if lawful charges are to be brought, for due process in accordance with international law, together with immediate access to appropriate medical treatment, legal representation and independent monitoring while he remains in detention; and further calls on the Government to continue its work with international partners to uphold the protection of healthcare workers and medical facilities in armed conflict and to ensure respect for international humanitarian law.

That this House welcomes the publication of Autonomy’s report Cleaning Up Politics; recognises that the overwhelming majority of the public believe the wealthiest in society use political donations to influence government in their own interests and that trust in politics is at historic lows; believes that proposals to cap political donations, prevent MPs from holding second jobs, and ban political donors from securing public contracts from the governments they pay to elect would improve trust in politics by strengthening transparency in decision making; further believes that these measures will reduce the corrupting influence of the super rich, who use their wealth to secure cash for access, cultivate paid for relationships to obtain lucrative public contracts, and move through second jobs as part of the revolving door between public service and personal enrichment; notes that reshaping how decisions are made, and ensuring that the voices heard by those in power reflect the public at large rather than those able to pay the most, is essential to building a politics centred on the needs of ordinary people, raising living standards and building a prosperous country; and therefore calls on the Government to adopt the recommendations set out in the report.

That this House considers that the main focus of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) should be on tackling pressing issues arising from the conflict in the Middle East alongside emerging and ongoing crises across the globe; regrets however that the ongoing restructuring exercise has created an industrial dispute with members of the Public and Commercial Services Trade Union since November 2025; notes that PCS members have now voted for Industrial Action with 78% of members voting for strike action and 97% voting for action short of strike action in an industrial ballot on 22 June; supports calls by PCS that the dispute could be resolved by pledges of no compulsory redundancies, roles to be advertised for internal applicants in the first instance, evidence that equality impacts and potential discriminatory outcomes have been fully assessed and mitigated; further notes the calls by both the International Development and Foreign Affairs Select Committees to pause the restructure proposals; and agrees that pausing the restructuring with the Department should take place immediately and that FCDO should now engage in meaningful dialogue in order to address all the issues and concerns of the staff and trade union.

That this House marks Srebrenica Memorial Week 2026 and commemorates the 31st anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide, the worst atrocity on European soil since the Second World War, in which more than 8,000 Bosniak Muslim men and boys were murdered because of their Muslim identity; believes that remembrance of Srebrenica sends a powerful message that we must never forget where anti-Muslim hatred, dehumanisation, and division can lead; remembers all those who were murdered, displaced, bereaved, and affected by the genocide and the wider atrocities committed during the Bosnian War, including up to 50,000 women and girls who were subjected to rape and sexual violence as weapons of war; recognises the judgments of international courts that the massacre at Srebrenica constituted genocide; pays tribute to survivors, victims’ families, the Mothers of Srebrenica, and all those who continue to preserve the memory of those who were killed; commends the work of Remembering Srebrenica, including its national and regional boards, volunteers, Community Champions and partners, in educating people across the United Kingdom through schools, local authorities, places of worship, community organisations, police forces, and civic institutions about the consequences of anti-Muslim hatred, dehumanisation, division, and genocide denial; reaffirms the importance of remembrance, truth, justice, peace, and social cohesion; and calls on the Government to continue supporting Srebrenica genocide education, remembrance, and initiatives that help prevent future atrocities.

That this House recognises that healthy, resilient and thriving natural systems are fundamental to food security, public health, economic prosperity, climate resilience and national security; notes with deep concern the Government’s report entitled Global biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and national security: A National Security Assessment, which identifies biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse as imminent systemic risks to national security, resilience and prosperity; further recognises that the long-term wellbeing, security and economic stability of the UK depends upon the health and integrity of the natural world; believes that law and governance should better reflect society’s dependence on Nature and the living systems that sustain human life and economic activity; welcomes the introduction of the Nature’s Rights Bill [HL] as an important contribution to parliamentary debate on how legal duties, governance and decision-making can better protect and restore the natural world; remains concerned that, despite existing environmental protections, current governance frameworks do not adequately address the rapid pace of ecological decline or the critical risks arising from nature loss; and calls on the Government to give serious consideration to the legal and governance approaches that recognise Nature as a legal subject and rights-bearing entity, establish a duty of care towards Nature, and align public decision-making, policy development, economic planning and national resilience strategy with the protection, restoration and regeneration of the living systems on which human wellbeing, national security and economic activity depend.

That this House notes with concern Sony's announcement that, from January 2028, it will cease production of physical discs for all new PlayStation games, following reports that the PlayStation 6 will be released without a disc drive; further notes that this move, taken alongside the closure of the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita online stores, will compel consumers who wish to purchase new titles to do so exclusively through the PlayStation Store or digital retail partners; is alarmed that this shift removes consumers' ability to resell, lend, or retain permanent ownership of purchased games, entrenching Sony's control over game distribution, pricing, and platform access; is concerned that a single company acting as the sole digital gatekeeper for its console ecosystem raises serious questions about market dominance, consumer lock-in, and the potential for anti-competitive pricing and terms once physical alternatives are eliminated; further notes similar concerns have previously been raised regarding closed app store models on mobile platforms; and calls on the Government to refer Sony's PlayStation Store practices and the closure of physical distribution channels to the Competition and Markets Authority for investigation into whether this constitutes an abuse of a dominant market position and whether it risks harming consumer choice, competition, and the long-standing principle of game ownership.
