Speeches by McDougall.

“If we do not give ourselves the legislative tools, which we do not currently have, to seize those assets, the loans that are underwritten by those assets ultimately are for our taxpayers to underwrite. I come back to the question that we surely have to pass that legislation, and we should do it sooner rather than later…”

“Can I build on that? I mentioned in my first question the commissioning of sanctions, so other Parliaments and other jurisdictions, particularly the United States, will have the power to initiate sanctions. I wonder whether that is not just giving more power to the legislature but is maybe helpful in some instances to …”

“I suspect I know the answer, given that earlier you were talking about the failure to feed them and provide basic medical support, but is there any effective international intervention to combat the radicalisation within the camps?”

“Do you think that justice will be a priority for HTS, or will it be offset by trying to hold the country together?”

“To take that operation, for example, is the driving force behind that because the people who conducted the massacre are a security threat to the regime, or is it about justice and retribution?”

“You talked a moment ago about the importance of inclusion, and HTS has obviously spoken a lot about that. The flipside of that for me is justice for things that have happened in the past. It is remarkable to me how little of the debate since Assad has fallen has been about justice for the past. That is partly because h…”

“There is not a Union flag on the outside of the prison, no.”

“The UK funds some of these camps and prisons. Are the inmates aware of that and does that increase the risk to the UK from these individuals?”

“I suspect I know the answer, given that earlier you were talking about the failure to feed them and provide basic medical support, but is there any effective international intervention to combat the radicalisation within the camps?”

“You mentioned the radicalising education that the kids are getting in the camps. We also have reports of children, child soldiers, being taught how to fight and taught to be suicide bombers. It feels a bit like the “war on terror” has gone from being a situation where we attack terrorist training camps to one where the…”

“Katie Allan was a beautiful and bright young woman, and would have been a constituent of mine but for the fact that, aged 21, she found herself, after a youthful stupid mistake, in Polmont young offenders institution, where she died from suicide. The fatal incident inquiry recently published into her death and the deat…”

“As a Member of Parliament who represents a large population of both Muslims and Jews, I certainly endorse that. Alon, you seem to want to come in on this question of the theory of change.”

“Edward touched on the thrust of my question earlier on, which was about the risks of the prospect of annexation for the peace process. John, you put it succinctly, saying, “It is a very bad idea.” I wanted to ask Amnon and Shahira why annexation is such a terrible idea for the prospects of peace, just so that we as a C…”
