My Lords, at the other end of the scale of artificial intelligence is canine intelligence. The wonderful charity Medical Detection Dogs has had wonderful results in early and accurate diagnosis of prostate cancer. Are the Government looking at this as one of their diagnostic tools? If the Minister d…
We have plenty of time. It is the turn of the Cross Benches.
I recognise the picture the noble Baroness paints. I am very happy to find out more, and to take that back to the Foreign Office to see if we can learn more about the specific questions she raises about the refugee camps. As far as the humanitarian situation in Lebanon is concerned, the crossings ar…
As the noble Baroness, Lady Falkner of Margravine, has already pointed out, if Amendment 422E is agreed to, I am unable to call Amendments 423, 423ZA or 423A by reason of pre-emption.
Before the noble Baroness tells us what she is going to do, I turn to the noble Lord, Lord Freyberg, to find out what he is going to do with his amendments.

It should have been marshalled as Amendment 330DA, so I will now dispose of Amendment 334A, which was already debated. The noble Lord, Lord Sharpe, will just have to trust me on this …

“The two-state solution is in peril ”.—[ Offi…
The noble Baroness is absolutely right. Delivering aid and humanitarian aid is not something that you can do on a whim. These people are experienced, have knowledge and expertise and know the areas on the ground. I was not referring to the June conference but the one taking place today in New York, …
My Lords, I declare my interests as set out in the register. I very much thank the Minister for his comments and the Government for their support. The Government are absolutely right to oppose the expansion of Israel’s operation in Gaza and to question how the Israeli Government’s aid plan is consis…
