Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Emma Lewell-Buck and Gill Furniss

Tuesday 25th January 2022 Commons Chamber

[Mrs Emma Lewell-Buck (South Shields) (Lab)]

14. What diplomatic steps the Government are taking to help support a negotiated peace settlement in Yemen.

[Gill Furniss (Sheffield, Brightside and Hillsborough) (Lab)]

20. What recent assessment she has made of the implications for her policies of the civil war in Yemen.

[The Minister for the Middle East, North Africa and North America (James Cleverly)]

A negotiated political settlement is the only way to bring long-term stability to Yemen. On 10 January, I hosted the UN special envoy for Yemen, Hans Grundberg, here in London and reiterated UK support for the UN-led peace process to drive forward the political process in Yemen. We urge the parties to engage constructively in negotiations to end this conflict, which is bringing death and suffering on an appalling scale.
