I want to return to the issue of UK maritime services bankrolling Putin’s barbaric war by supporting Russian fossil fuel exports. Despite the ban relating to LNG, campaigners have criticised what they see as a lack of enforcement of the rules. What will the Government do to ensure that sanctions...

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what representations her Department has made to the Government of Pakistan regarding the trial of civilians in military courts since February 2024.
The UK is concerned by the use of military courts for civilians in Pakistan. We regularly raise our concerns with the Government of Pakistan and urge it to uphold its international obligations, including the right to a fair trial and due process. We continue to engage bilaterally and at senior levels to encourage legal proceedings to be conducted in line with international standards, including under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of damage to civilian infrastructure in Gaza on numbers of indirect deaths.
The latest Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment (RDNA) for Gaza, published by the EU, UN and World Bank on 20 April, indicates that there are an estimated $71.4 billion-worth of losses and damages from the war in Gaza. This underlines the scale and urgency of collectively addressing this challenge. The RDNA finds that over 370,000 housing units have been destroyed or damaged since October 2025, leaving 60 per cent of the population homeless, that more than 50 per cent of hospitals have become non-functional, and that nearly all schools have been destroyed or damaged.
The UK continues to call for the protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure, urging all parties to comply with International Humanitarian Law and allow rapid and unimpeded access for humanitarian relief.
