Commons ChamberI thank my hon. Friend for that intervention. That was a very powerful point, if slightly long. There are people who face these really traumatic and difficult decisions every day, including Louise Shackleton, who I believe is also with us today.
On a point of order, Mr Speaker. I thought this was a debate to discuss amendments, not a general debate.
It is, but I think this is the opening lead-in to the amendments. I will make that judgment call.

Commons ChamberOn 22 April, I raised concerns with my Chinese counterpart on China’s supply of equipment to Russia and on the relationship with the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea—North Korea—and Russia and Iran. The right hon. Lady will know that I sanctioned Chinese entities that were supplying dual-use technology to the Russians, killing Ukrainians.
