Commons ChamberAs I have said, these parliamentary delegations are very valuable, and I want to see them continue.
Many of us have raised serious concerns about the actions of the Israeli Government, and replies have rarely gone as far as most of us would want. I am deeply concerned that the state of Israel may be using this tactic to curtail Ministers from condemning Israel more strongly. What assurance can we have from the Minister that he will not be cowed by what has happened to his colleagues?
I will not be cowed by what has happened to my colleagues.
