As a member of the Procedure Committee, James Sunderland reports back to the House of Commons on the Committee’s inquiry and recommendations into the processes by which Ministers and MPs can correct the parliamentary record.
James Sunderland calls on the international community to work together to dial down the rhetoric, open humanitarian corridors, encourage restraint and protect life, and urges the UK to commit to expanding bilateral agreements between Israel and its Arab neighbours, offering a possible future peace between Israel and Palestine.
Following the Prime Minister’s statement to the House of Commons following his visit to the Middle East, James Sunderland asked the PM to what extent Israeli action in Gaza can be contained from wider involvement by malign actors.
James Sunderland intervenes in the Minister’s response to a debate on a Private Member’s Bill to decriminalise non-payment of the BBC Licence Fee for the over-75s. He says that as the Government are not supporting this Bill, and therefore enforcing payment in law, the Minister must ensure the BBC raises its standards of impartiality to justify the licence fee.
Following the Prime Minister’s statement on Israel and Gaza, James Sunderland calls for restraint and objective leadership so that humanitarian support can be provided to Gaza, Hamas defeated and hostages returned home.
Following the Prime Minister’s statement on the G20 and possible changes to global governance institutions, James Sunderland calls on the PM to ensure that the UN Security Council remains a viable framework for global security, and that Britain’s seat at the table is not negotiable.
