Mr Deputy Speaker (Sir Roger Gale)
Finally, I call the ever-patient Mary Kelly Foy.
Mary Kelly Foy (City of Durham) (Lab)
Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker.
Is the Minister aware that before Christmas a sniper murdered two women—a mother and a daughter—inside the Holy Family parish in Gaza? The Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem stated that the women
“were shot in cold blood inside the premises of the parish, where there are no belligerents”.
Pope Francis has condemned the attack, as has the Archbishop of Westminster; will the Government do so?
