Oral Answers to Questions

Peter Prinsley Excerpts

Tuesday 3rd March 2026 Commons Chamber

[Mr Falconer]

As I said, there will be an external assessment. I am aware that the process of education reform, which is being led by some of our friends in the European Union, is happening grade by grade. As I understand it, there has been considerable progress on grade 12, and they are looking at some of the other grades. The hon. Gentleman is welcome to send me the textbook, to confirm which grade it relates to.

[Peter Prinsley (Bury St Edmunds and Stowmarket) (Lab)]

I accept that there are problems with the curriculum in Palestinian schools, but the eyes of the world are now distracted, and settlement expansion continues, as far as we can tell. I am concerned that when the dust settles and the rubble is cleared, the viability of the Palestinian state will be significantly jeopardised. Does the Minister share my firm belief that what is going on does not really represent the will of the Israeli people?

[Mr Speaker]

That was a bit of a stretch to this question.
