I welcome the commitment from the Leader of the House to facilitate a meeting with a Foreign Office Minister, and I intend to ensure these issues are fully examined.

Mr Stirling and the rest of those aboard the flotilla were participating in an aid mission in response to the man-made humanitarian catastrophe that those in Gaza are currently living through.
It is shocking that a British citizen on such a mission in international waters should be detained, let alone mistreated, by any foreign Government.
What’s more, Mr Stirling’s family raised extremely serious concerns about his treatment and the lack of communication from this Government was extremely disappointing.
UK citizens engaged in humanitarian work abroad must be able to rely on effective consular support and transparent communication.
