Speeches by Carden.

“I am grateful to the Minister and his Department for setting out the need for increased defence spending because, like so many here, I believe we are living through a change of era where the assumptions of globalisation and multilateralism are being refuted by reality, and it demands the renewal of our modern productiv…”

“4. What steps his Department is taking to support drug and alcohol addiction treatment services.”

“The Minister has done it for me, but I alert colleagues to my interests in this area. Last month, the Advertising Standards Authority ruled against seven companies posing as treatment providers or impartial advice services or for failing to make clear their role in earning commission when they were in fact brokers—and …”

“The Secretary of State and the Minister have put Britain’s military production capability at the heart of the Government’s support for Ukraine. I wonder what opportunities the Minister spies for transatlantic co-operation in that regard. May I make a special plea that the whole defence team discuss plans for developing…”

“The current situation is clearly unsustainable. Most of the negotiations took place under the previous Administration. It is now becoming a political football. Has the Minister heard any other serious recommendations for the future of the island?”

“Good afternoon, panel. The Chair kicked off the session by asking all of you if you still support the two-state solution.

“Gershon Baskin, can I ask you the same question? What would be the significance?”

“Colonel Eisen, reflecting on your comments in your last answer, when I was listening to you I was wondering what you thought the role for other state actors in resolving this peace would be. You have two sides that are vehemently opposed to each other. Is it not that the international community needs to take steps to f…”

“Carrying on that point, is it not the case that a two-state solution can only be imposed and pushed for by outside powers? What would you say that looks like?”

“At the beginning, you said the United States was unpredictable. We all expect something to happen when President-elect Trump comes to office. What do you expect from the US and other powers, such as Saudi Arabia and the UK? Which outside powers should take a leading role in trying to deliver peace?”

“Thank you, Sharone, for coming to speak to us today. It is heartbreaking to hear the experiences that you have had over the last 14 months. You mentioned Qatar. Qatar was leading negotiations. Hamas had been residing there. It has now pulled away from leading those negotiations, but during that time was there any part …”
