Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 November 2026

Debate

Gaza: Humanitarian Situation

Contribution

I set out a timetable earlier. The Foreign Secretary was clear that it will be six to nine months, but we will try to do it at the earlier end of that scale. I want to be clear with the House that that is because we need to make sure that this regime is designed effectively, so that it will have the impact that we are aiming for. We have incredible teams of sanctions officials who work on these issues. We are very successful in that the regimes that we run around the world have an impact as well as being legally and evidentially sound. It is important that we get it right, but we want to see this brought in as soon as possible.
