Part of 2. Questions to the Leader of the House and Chief Whip – in the Senedd at 2:40 pm on 14 November 2018.
Well, thank you for agreeing to do that, leader of the house, because there are 14 million people in Yemen that are on the brink of famine, thanks to the war, which our arms trade is supporting—one of the worst humanitarian crises in recent years. The Saudi regime remains a regime that heavily oppresses women, restricts basic freedoms and assassinates its opponents overseas. It's heavily linked to the growth of the Taliban, as you know, in the 1990s, and the only reason that our Governments deny this is because of the influence of big oil, BAE Systems and UK politics. How can your Government possibly justify this?
