Points of Order

Robert Halfon Excerpts

Thursday 9th January 2014 Commons Chamber

[Robert Halfon (Harlow) (Con)]

On a point of order, Mr Speaker. I notified my right hon. Friend the Member for Banbury (Sir Tony Baldry) that I intended to raise this point of order. I have enormous respect for him, and he has been a great help to me over an issue in my constituency. In reference to the answer that he gave me during Church Commissioners questions, I should like to clarify that the anti-Israel exhibition at St. James’s church was primarily about the Israeli fence, of which 5% is wall, and which has prevented 95% of suicides. That is why I argued that it was a one-sided exhibition that would do a lot to harm religious tolerance.

[Mr Speaker]

I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for that clarification. I am sure that the House will now feel better informed.
