On the same issue, it is wrong that the Government should table a motion to be taken without debate tomorrow on the Palestinian situation. In particular, such a motion as has been put on the agenda is very sad. It was only circulated in the past hour to us. I could see why, when I read it. That is what is wrong; this motion should have been done by agreement with all parties in this House. It would have been possible if the Government wanted to but obviously it does not. It is the wrong way if we go down this road. An horrific situation is developing and to put such a one-sided motion on the agenda of this House tomorrow, and for it not to be debated and then passed is completely wrong. It is an insult to the rest of the Members of this House.
