Oral Answers to Questions

Graham P Jones Excerpts

Wednesday 19th November 2014 Commons Chamber

The Prime Minister was asked—

[Graham Jones (Hyndburn) (Lab)]

Q1. If he will list his official engagements for Wednesday 19 November.

[The Prime Minister (Mr David Cameron)]

I am sure the whole House will join me in condemning the senseless attack in a synagogue in West Jerusalem this week, in which five people were killed. One of the victims was a dual Israeli-UK citizen, Rabbi Avraham Goldberg, and we send our deepest condolences to his family and friends, as well as to the families of the other victims. This was an appalling act of terror, and we condemn all acts of this kind.

This morning, I had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others, and in addition to my duties in the House, I shall have further such meetings later today.

[Graham Jones]

I think the whole House will echo the Prime Minister’s comments regarding the incident in Israel. It is a tragedy that we are all deeply concerned about.

How confident is the Prime Minister that he will not see further defections to UKIP?

[The Prime Minister]

There is only one way to secure an in/out referendum on Europe, and that is to back a Conservative victory at the next election.
