I am grateful to the Government for their additional round of sanctions one year on from the massacre at El Fasher, but outside actors, including the United Arab Emirates, continue to fuel that war, as the UN’s fact-finding mission has shown.

I very much appreciated this excellent report from the Select Committee. Does my hon. Friend feel that we can learn lessons from other European nations?
Read in Hansard (opening words; the full contribution is longer)
I certainly agree. Many of us have been very frustrated that we often get stock letters back about the problems being experienced, that our constituents have to go to sorting offices and that we are not seeing the change we urgently need.

It is a real pleasure to speak in this debate. I am very grateful, above all, to the hon. Member for Lagan Valley (Sorcha Eastwood) for securing this debate. This is not the first debate that we have had on this subject, even in this Chamber.
Read in Hansard (opening words; the full contribution is longer)
I am sorry, but I will not, because I want to be fair to everybody else. Finally, can we please have a commitment from the Department for Transport to convene other Departments on this issue?
