Weeks and months, that is what we have done. While of course i want sanctions to go further and have a greater effect, they have had an effect and are bringing pressure to bear. We need to signal not to let more russians appear that would accept or give up, but turned the ratchet and russia would suffer permanently from increasing economic isolation that follows. The Prime Minister will be aware a number of individuals, including two for my own constituency have traveled to join the fight with isis. How was the young man able to obtain a u. K. Passport using commercial means through the eu to fight and does he have full confidence in the u. K. Border force and assure us there have been no serious lapses in their existing checking procedures, particularly given the numbers we have seen going to fight . I will certainly look at the individual case the honorable gentleman produces. We could not have given clear instructions about confiscating passports, or venting travel. A number of people have been prosecuted, but we need to do everything we can and war to stop this from happening. Given the situation in the ukraine, when will the Prime Minister invest a committing toward prepositioning of ,quipment toward the baltic ensuring there is british battalion under the command of the supreme allied commander of europe to be deployed in Rapid Reaction and ensure we make a binding, statutory, longterm commitment to 2 of gdp on defense . I welcome this questioning her and congratulate my honorable friend on his election to head up the defense support committee in this house. Many suggestions will be addressed at the nato conference. I think its very important when russia looks at countries like like estonia, latvia or poland, they dont just the estonian, latvian and polish soldiers. Articleto make real the five commitments we have and that is very important. To help with steps baltic air patrolling and those were gravely received by those countries concerned. Are oned of the fact we of the few countries in europe, to at the last count that meet the 2 defense spending. We should urge others to do the same. Is the Prime Minister aware his words would be much more credible if his view and reading as allory was as good the garbage it drops out . Namely, 12 months ago, this Prime Minister stood at this box and try to get the house of commons to join in in order to il guerrillasthe is against assad. Had it not been for the labour party, he would have been cracked on this. He wants to get on his hands and knees and fight the labour party for not taking britain dan that route down that route. My memory of the discussions we had a year ago was about the use of chemical weapons and my reading of history is the use of chemical weapons is wrong and we should not turn away from the of chemical weapons will i congratulate you on the robust stance of pointing out the poisonous nature of their ideology, but let me suggest to my right old friend that represents a substantial threat to the continued integrity of iraq will stop airstrikes have been successful importing the further advance will stop would it not be better if we joined in that measure . As far as ukraine is concerned, i repeat my plea to him that he uses this weekends conference to get a Maritime Force to deter engaging in attacks question mark we support the action americans have taken to assist the Iraqi Authority and Kurdish Authority to beat back and we have assisted in our own way to the humanitarian aid we have delivered and intelligence in support we have given to the americans. Ukraine, i dont think that is the right approach. , natould be demonstrating stands behind all of its members and should be demonstrating that nato has important partnerships with countries like ukraine and that should not stop us from having exercises in ukraine as we will be later this year. Solution iseve the a military solution. What we want is a deescalation of the military situation and an escalation of the political solution recognizing the ukrainian people must be able to choose their future. It is that russia is trying to deny. When did you realize the iraqi army could not heal with and when did he believe the army would be in the position to defeat . The weakness of the iraqi army was not based on its equipment or its training. It was based on the fact it was seen as a force that represented only one part of iraq and demonstrates the importance of focusing on politics as well as military issues. The iraqi army will succeed atil this happens, to have government that represents all of a rack and also very force that can make the same claim. Dont recent events show the need for us to control our own borders and shouldnt that be central to our new relationship with the eu so their weakest border is not our border . So we arenot members, able to police independently our borders and we do that and it is indeed at our borders we are able to restrict people from coming in. Ofwell as the prerogative taking passports away, we will be able to do that at the borders as well. I hope the Prime Minister will accept know is more opposed to terrorism as my constituency. That to be a agree british citizen is very precious and we need to be very careful about interfering with the rights of other citizens if the Security Services know enough to finger them to say they cannot come into the country, why cant we arrest them and subject into our general loss . If we dont subject all british citizens to our general laws, isnt there a possibility other countries may not attach enough significance to british citizenship . I very much respect the gentlemans views and i agree the best outcome when you are faced with a terrorist threat is to make sure you can gather evidence, prosecute and convict those that threaten your country. But what successive governments have found is that when you are facing this exit stencil terrorist threat is not enough, which is why there were in the past control orders, which is why you have to take extraordinaire he measures sometimes like the prerogative on taking passports away. If you take the case of a jewel some oneyou can strip of their nationality, that is what we do today. Thats why they have to address any potential gap in our armory, to keep our country safe. Can i commend the Prime Minister on his Diplomatic Security and humanitarian efforts to help the people of kurdistan with the threat of i of isil. Ith the threat any british citizen is pledging , theirnce to isil passport should be withdrawn immediately. But it is worth listening to my honorable friend and im grateful for the travel he undertook to the Kurdish Regional authority and the work hes doing to build our relationship with the minister. I think is hugely helpful and i will listen carefully to the other point he makes. Could the Prime Minister explain why the British Government did not support the call made by the United Nations commission for human rights for the investigation into war crimes in gaza . Nationsother european have abstained on that vote and why others are going ahead. Meantime, the spike 2000 people dying in gaza, doesnt he think its time to ask to suspend arms deals with israel because of the appalling loss of life in gaza and continued occupation of the west bank and continued death of Palestinian Land by the Israeli Occupying forces . Right thatay it is these claims and points are properly investigated and they should be. The reason for not voting for this specific motion was that it was unbalanced will stop that city many countries to. In terms of arms exports to israel, the government has reviewed all existing export licenses to israel, the vast majority were not for items that could be used by israeli forces. 12 licenses right to divide which could be part of equipment and no new licenses or military quitman were issued during that review time, so thats the approach we have taken and we think it has been sensible and balanced. Donald has indicated he is ready to support my right honorable friends land to introduce welfare payments to welfare workers from migrant states. Does this not demonstrate its possible for the u. K. Under my right honorable friend leadership to negotiate real and positive changes in relationships with the European Union . I agree with my right old rent. With respect to his announcement it is wiseink counsel in this house and his party. What he said is the European Union and i personally will respond to concerns signaled by great britain. I talked about this to David Cameron and i think they can be accepted by sensible politicians in europe will stop he added regarding the search for a compromise aiming to eliminate abuse and the free flow of labor, its a positive statement and i look forward to working with them in the future. The Prime Minister has said there are Russian Troops on the ground in the ukraine which gives a lie to what president putin has said. Ce russias behavior in behaving like an International Terror or innovation, the following question i asked in he not now on ambiguously finally say without any element of uncertainty that in theho were involved murder and corruption are not welcome in this country . Its straightforward, they are not welcome, end of story. I have not got the letter in front of me, but i dont have anything to add to the letter. Clear the russian authorities have not told the truth about the situation in ukraine. Can i thank my right honorable friend for not urging upon us despite revocations a whole slew of new legislation or to take up the desire to rewrite old legislation as though it were new legislation, but to target his thoughts on one or two specific areas . Will he make sure the deliberations he is suggesting is as wide as possible and we take time to get it right rather than rush it through to achieve a quick result . Friendsd my right old calming tones on the radio this morning, it sets the tone for my whole mood today. I dont that believe in kneejerk responses. We are a country under the law. We have very firm rules in this area and what is required is changes that margin to fill in the gaps we have identified. Should spend we too long debating and discussing them, but if there are gaps, they need to be filled quite urgently. Why is he still sending weapons to the netanyahu government in israel while being so slow to arm the kurds and refusing to arm the legitimate government of ukraine . We are operating the legislation which was put toward by the government of which he was a member. Does the Prime Minister agree that one of the main reasons why nato successfully deterred and contained the then soviet union from 1949 to 1989 was that the rulers and the kremlin were in no doubt at all that an attack on one nato country would inevitably mean war with all the rest . , would he bear in mind the fact that at the nato summit that nato membership, however hardhearted this may seem must never be weered to a country unless are prepared to go to war to defend the country . Think my honorable friend speaks very good sense about this. Article five obligations are deadly serious and we would have to meet them if a nato member was invaded i another country. The point he makes is a good one. The summer, the ukrainian Prime Minister said forcefully to me that whereas prorussian rebels are fully and adequately armed, his own forces, do notn have all the materials they need. Will you tell us what military advice we are giving to the government of ukraine and what military assistance are we giving . The assistance we have given to ukraine to date has been in technical and other governmental areas. We stand open to having discussions with them on a military to military bases, but providing arms has not in part of our plan. Policy of talking loudly is harrying a small stick often found wanting quite quickly. Does the Prime Minister concede cutting 20,000 frontline troops risks sending the wrong message both to our potential adversaries and to our nato partners as he rightly prepares to increase their defense spending . Im afraid i dont agree with my honorable friend. We have had to make difficult decisions to deal with the deficit. But no one can describe a 33 billion pound defense budget, one of the top five budgets anywhere in the world as a small stick. Because we have undertaken difficult decisions, weve got a new Aircraft Carrier with another to follow will stop we have the type 45 destroyers, the best equipped armies weve had for many years and a whole new range of aircraft for the raf. Size andnly have that stored of stick if you take the difficult decisions elsewhere in your budget. The decision was the wrong policy taken for the wrong reason. The relocation element. On the international dimension, it is right to learn lessons from the past, but its wrong to be imprisoned by the past. Decision on by the the iraq war or the decision last year on military intervention in syria. In the light of what has happened in recent months, will the Prime Minister consider taking a new mandate from parliament which begins not by ruling options out or looking over our shoulders, but by exercising leadership and confronting the threat we face here and now . Eyes so much agree with the right old joe and that we need to learn the lessons of the past but must but must not be imprisoned item. The whole tone of the debate today is that yes, it is for those in the region, the Iraqi Government, the kurds and neighbors to lead the charge against squeezing this appalling america,ion, britain, france and others should use all the tools in our toolkit to help them do that. We have to make a judgment of how we best do that on the ground and the judgment has been to provide the aid, provide military support. The americans have gone further and provided air strikes. Orders,ssue of control the independent reviewer of terrorist legislation said theres no need to put the clock back. The majority of changes has civilized the control orders system without making it less effective. Understand the control orders were being run ragged and the courts. The system and we have improved it. Do you share the analysis that to address the appalling consequences of the collapse of state authority in much of the middle east and north africa, we are going to have to get competing nationstates to cooperate together. That means he ran, turkey, saudi arabia and russia have to be gotten a place where they can cooperate in the United States and European Union will stop it will involve ugly compromises we have already made. The policy objection of getting those in the same place to have a place to address this disaster. Agree with what my honorable friend says about the importance of getting nations that have not previously cooperated to cooperate with each other. We should get them to step up to the plate and do more with the problems in their own area. As the member across the aisle just said, there are times when we have to look at our own responsibilities and we should do that at the same time. I welcome the Prime Ministers decision to place the Channel Program on a longstanding recommendation of the committee and hes right to focus on the obligation to return. The obligation to return resulted in mohammed occam med mohammed coming back from smalley a and he is now in forces at large. From kenya wask tragic consequences. The principle of looking at this is extremely important. Can i urge you to please make sure we have an engagement with the community itself in terms of domestic harrison . I very much agree with both of the points. It has been very noticeable in in british how many muslim communities have come forward to condemn isil in incredibly strong terms and that is usually welcome. I take the point about the recommendations on the channel we are putting in place. If islamic terrorism is the greatest threat we face, surely our best policies to maximize a coalition of the willing in the world not to fight a two front they are annex essential threat to the russian state in chechnya, i wonder if my right honorable friend think there is a role for the bridge Prime Minister who is not a party to the dispute in this area to broker a deal based on or federal moves for Eastern Ukraine . I dont agree with my right honorable friend about that. Where he is right is that russia faces a threat from islamist extremism, but so far, i have seen insufficient evidence they want to work with International Partners to follow that through another theaters. Recently in syria, its obvious to me brutality and the lack of support to the responsible opposition has helped ferment the problem, and that is something where Vladimir Putin and i would take completely different sides. . Is theoward Prime Minister accept that increasingly young muslims are being radicalized not in moscow and the madrasah but online . In threatening to revisit the Communications Data legislation, would he agree we need to go even further with close International Partners in bringing the Communication Service providers to a realization that they bear responsibility for their platforms being used for illegal purposes . I think the right old showman is absolutely right will stop there is no doubt a lot of radicalization is taking place online, by people watching videos or preachers or what have you, often on the other side of the world. We work leslie with international Service Providers in the issue of chil
