Mr David Lammy

Labour — Tottenham

Speaking in the House of Commons on 20 March 2025

Debate

Conflict in Gaza

Contribution

The Government’s position is based on the law that was set out in our export licensing regime, which the right hon. Gentleman supported in the last Parliament. The language of that legislation, if he looks at it closely, states that I, as a Minister and on behalf of the Government, have to make an assessment of clear risk. That is the language that I have used 10 times in this House since September. I stand by it, and so should he.
