SNP strengthens Gaza ceasefire motion to call for halt to UK arms supplies to Israel
SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn speaks during Prime Minister's Questions in the House of Commons, London, March 20, 2023
MPs will face a fresh Commons motion demanding a halt to UK arms supplies to Israel this week when the SNP relaunches its parliamentary battle calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.
An SNP call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza ended in chaos last week when Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle gave precedence to a Labour amendment watering down the call.
To make up for the debacle, the SNP is being allowed to submit a new motion, which will be debated on Wednesday.
