        I call John Grady, who is trying to confuse the Chair by sitting exactly opposite where he normally sits. I found you eventually.

        I do apologise, Madam Deputy Speaker.
We are talking today about a massacre at a hospital where mums, dads and little babies should be safe and helped. With that in mind, those who commit war crimes should be held to account. Can the Minister please reassure me that the UK is doing everything possible to ensure that international criminal law is enforced, and that its application and enforcement are improved? Can he also reaffirm to me our Government’s absolute support for the independence of the International Criminal Court?
