Proceeding contribution from David Lammy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 1 September 2025. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Middle East.
Middle East
It is axiomatic that the hon. Gentleman is wrong. I made an assessment back in September that there was a clear risk—that was based on IHL assessments —and for that reason we suspended arms sales to Gaza. The machinery of government is working very well in the assessments we are able to make, notwithstanding how difficult it of course is to get all the evidence that is necessary.
