Middle East

David Mundell Excerpts

Monday 21st July 2025 Commons Chamber

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Judith Cummins)]

I am aiming to finish this statement at around a quarter to 8. Given the length of questions, Members will be able to see that not everybody will get in.

[David Mundell (Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale) (Con)]

Everybody condemns the deaths as people queue for aid, but this aid system that was enforced is only possible because of the support of the United States in its delivery—so what is the Foreign Secretary doing to persuade the United States that this is not the way to deliver aid into Gaza?

[Mr Lammy]

I reassure the right hon. Gentleman that I have made representations to Secretary of State Rubio about my concerns with the aid system. I have done that alongside many European Foreign Ministers and members of the G7.
