Lord Collins of Highbury (Lab)
I think the noble Lord knows that I have made it clear, as I said in response to the noble Lord, Lord Purvis, that we are working with the Palestinian Authority; we are supporting the Palestinian Authority, and there is no place for Hamas in the governance of Gaza.
Baroness Foster of Oxton (Con)
My Lords, since the outset of this horrendous conflict, Israel has provided 25,000 trucks and 57,000 tonnes of aid that have gone into Gaza. It is quite clear that Hamas continues to renege on the agreement that it has made so far, which leaves phase 2 in an extremely difficult situation. There are 47 organisations that provide aid to Gaza—not only UNRWA—so can the Minister please respond to the question from my noble friend on the Front Bench as to what oversight is provided to ensure that the £41 million of British taxpayers’ money is going to the correct people?
