Middle East

Tracy Gilbert Excerpts

Thursday 21st May 2026 Commons Chamber

[Mr Falconer]

I do, to all three questions.

[Tracy Gilbert (Edinburgh North and Leith) (Lab)]

Although I welcome my hon. Friend’s statement, given all we have heard today, my constituents and I are concerned about the reported closure of the Conflict and Security Monitoring Project. I have seen at first hand how important its work is, and how important the projects are that it undertakes, in order to monitor human rights violations in the region. Can my hon. Friend assure the House that the Foreign Office is still able to track the number of potential breaches of international law in Israel, Palestine and Lebanon, and compare that to the number this time last year?

[Mr Falconer]

I can offer my hon. Friend that assurance.
