Gaza: Malnutrition
Asked by: Lord Leigh of Hurley (Conservative - Life peer) Tuesday 15th September 2026 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask His Majesty's Government, in light of the statement published by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office on 23 July about the UN Integrated Food Security Phase Classification snapshot for Gaza, what assessment they have made of the levels of acute malnutrition under five in Gaza; and how this compares with rates in Egypt, Jordan and Syria. Answered by Lord Wood of Anfield - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) Improvements in acute malnutrition among children under five in Gaza demonstrate what is possible during a ceasefire, allowing the scale up of the emergency nutrition response. However, 59 per cent of the population still face crisis levels of food insecurity, children continue to experience chronic malnutrition with potentially lifelong consequences, dietary diversity remains severely limited, and maternal malnutrition remains significant. We must see improved and sustained humanitarian access, to support widescale needs. |

Israeli Settlements: Sanctions
Asked by: Lord Leigh of Hurley (Conservative - Life peer) Thursday 15th October 2026 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask His Majesty's Government what advice they have received from the National Security Advisor and His Majesty's Ambassador to Israel regarding the timing of the announcement of sanctions of goods from Israeli settlements ahead of the Israeli general election on 27th October; and what consideration they have given to that advice. Answered by Lord Wood of Anfield - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) It is a long-standing convention that Governments do not comment on the content of advice provided by National Security Adviser to Ministers. The Government announced its measures on 8 September because it judged them necessary to respond to the deteriorating situation on the ground and support the viability of a two-state solution. The measures are designed to stop UK economic activity supporting the expansion of illegal settlements. The UK will continue to distinguish between Israel within its internationally recognised borders and the territories occupied since 1967. |
