Mr David Lammy

Labour — Tottenham

Speaking in the House of Commons on 1 September 2025

Debate

Middle East

Contribution

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.
