Speeches by Mathew.

“In my constituency of Melksham and Devizes in Wiltshire, in two years only 29% of adults were seen by dentists. Only 56% of Wiltshire’s children are seen by an NHS dentist each year, which is a figure of shame, given that the NHS recommends that children be seen regularly from their very first tooth. Nationally, the pi…”

“We in this place all recognise the transformative role that railways can play in creating better-connected places and driving the economic growth that our communities and country need, yet that potential remains largely unrealised in some counties. Wiltshire has an extensive network of existing railway lines, but they …”

“The next question is: what is the ongoing impact of settler violence and forcible transfer on Palestinian families in the West Bank? I think that you have answered that, in a way, but you might like to elaborate.”

“The next question is for Ori, if I may, but the rest of you may want to answer as well. How have Bedouin communities been affected by settler violence?”

“If I could go back to one question that has not been covered and I think is quite important, Itay, could you give us a figure for the number of Israelis that are anticipated to move into the E1 settlement?”

“Thank you. Are you able to send us a copy of the report that you mentioned?”

“Itay, we get that, thank you. To follow up on that last question—I think this is pretty obvious, but it would still be nice to hear from you—how will the E1 settlement affect displacement across the West Bank?”

“You can go into whatever detail you want to on this next question, but I appreciate it may be difficult, in which case you may want to put it in writing. Does sexual violence play a role in settler violence?”

“Allegra, I am going to start with a simple question, which you may want to elaborate on, and on which we have already heard quite a lot. Then I want to go into some detailed questioning. First, to what extend does settler violence continue across the West Bank?”

“Allegra, when we were there a year ago we saw just that, so thank you for helping us to document it. Let me move on and ask this: what effect has the ban on UNRWA had on the situation across the West Bank?”

“Thank you, Ben. A number of us actually visited your former headquarters, so we can appreciate what you have lost. Can you just outline how you have adapted to these circumstances?”

“Ben, this is a big question or a small question: what effect has the ban on UNRWA had on the situation across the West Bank?”

“Okay. Perhaps you can give us that in writing.”

“Ori, you hinted that we all understood what could be used to make Israel understand. Can you be bit clearer with us about what tools the UK Government should be using?”

“Okay. Are there any organisations capable of filling the void left by UNRWA?”

“Thank you very much. Itay, this may sound a ridiculous question but please have a go at answering it: does Israel have any legal grounds effectively to have banned UNRWA?”

“Thank you very much. Itay, this may sound a ridiculous question but please have a go at answering it: does Israel have any legal grounds effectively to have banned UNRWA?”
