I spoke as shadow Immigration Minister in the Palestinian Family Visa Scheme debate, I called on the Government to fix the family visa route for Palestinians by allowing them visas to travel to nearby centres outside of Gaza to have their biometrics taken, similar to the arrangements made for Ukrainians.

I also repeated my calls for an immediate ceasefire, the release of all of the hostages, and immediate and unimpeded aid to Gaza, and to work towards a two-state solution, with a safe and secure Israel alongside a viable and sovereign Palestinian state.
