Before we proceed with that, would it be possible to get agreement to have either statements or an agreed motion on the war crimes that are currently taking place in Aleppo? It is time for the Parliament in its entirety to make a statement on this matter and, at least from a moral perspective, set out where it stands in respect of it.

I understand that the process of agreement makes that proposition. The Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade will be present on Thursday. We might fit it in an appropriate time if the Deputy so desires.

Can this be taken up at the Business Committee?

I think so, yes.

If they make that recommendation we will be happy to accept it.

I want to indicate the Labour Party support for such a motion.

It will be taken up by the Business Committee.

We would support it also.

We would be happy to do that.

The Members are favourably disposed to it but it will be decided by the Business Committee. The proposals for Thursday's business have been agreed.
