Tim Farron Excerpts

Tuesday 17th June 2014 Commons Chamber

[Tim Farron (Westmorland and Lonsdale) (LD)]

I wish to present a petition on behalf of my friends and constituents in Kendal Amnesty International who, on and after world water day earlier this year, sought to put the petition together, calling on the UK Government to urge the Government of Israel to respect the human rights of the Palestinian people to adequate and safe water supply.

The petition states:

The Petition of a resident of the UK,

Declares that the Petitioner believes that the Government of Israel is not respecting the human rights of the Palestinian people by failing to ensure that they have an adequate water supply.

The Petitioner therefore requests that the House of Commons urges the Government to encourage the Government of Israel to respect the human rights of the Palestinian people to adequate water supply.

And the Petitioner remains, etc.
