Speeches by Rushworth.

“I am sure that we can get into more detail. Will you also give us an update on the situation in Lebanon and how UNRWA is responding?”

“Could you give us an update on the work of UNRWA in the region?”

“Of course.”

“Could you give us an update on the work of UNRWA in the region?”

“I am not sure where we are up to in the Knesset with the taxation law on NGOs, which could hit 80% of foreign funding of NGOs. In our own Parliament today, it is very welcome that we are finally taking steps to stop British charities funding settlements, but what is happening with that law? Has it come through and had …”

“Yes, let’s do that. Will you introduce yourself, Itay? I am just conscious that quite a lot of the questions will get into the nitty-gritty, and we will end up running out of time for them.”

“Sure. I emphasise “brief”, because we have quite a lot of questions that will go into some of the details. We are really just looking for an overview the direction of travel and the recent developments in the West Bank.”

“When something like that happens, is there an investigation? Is the official position that this was a rogue IDF soldier not following orders? Or is there no consequence?”

“Thank you, everyone, for being with us. Allegra, we have met before, in Bethlehem, but my first question is for Ori, and is a simple starter. Could you give us a brief update on recent developments in the West Bank?”

“7. Whether she has made an assessment of the potential merits of improving the transparency of food welfare labelling.”

“I like to buy British, because I know that our farmers have some of the best quality and welfare standards in the world, and I know that my constituents feel the same. However, that is difficult when everything is labelled with Union flags and fake farm names. May I invite the Minister to meet with members of the Labou…”

“If it has to be a Department, then let us say Women and Equalities.”

“I think we suggested Women and Equalities. I am also aware that the Deputy Prime Minister may be interested in responding on behalf of Government—it is an issue that I have discussed with him. I am not sure on the procedures there, Chair.”

“My apologies. I think that we might have sent an older version.”

“I believe that we already have. The Table Office raised that point to make sure that there could be a Department responding. I think it suggested something like, “The Role of Fathers and Male Role Models”. I am perfectly happy to do that.”

“Thank you very much for receiving me. This application has huge cross-party support, and 30 MPs have signed up. Fewer than half of those are Labour and there is about an equal number of Liberal Democrats and Conservatives. I think that is because this is one of those moments when we talk of fatherhood; there is a growi…”

“It is realism.”

“It is realism.”

“Peter Mandelson should never have been appointed, and I look forward to the day that we can remove him as a peer. Even now, he makes a mockery of this process by not releasing his messages. Is there anything that the Government can do to compel Peter Mandelson to provide the information that this House seeks?”

“I fully agree with my hon. Friend. It would be remiss of me if I did not mention my absolute delight at the education for all Bill included in the King’s Speech. I intend to speak in the debate on that Bill when the time comes. I also thank the Minister for School Standards and the Secretary of State for what I thought…”
