Q1 Partial Answer
Caroline Dinenage Con

▸ Context
The question arises from the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the need for international support.
What steps he is taking to support Ukraine. The provision of military and humanitarian aid is important, but it will not be enough to secure long-term peace. Will he reassure me that if and when the Ukrainians seek peace talks, the UK will stand by them and support their efforts?
David Lammy
I welcome the Ukrainians' desire to have peace summits. The best way to achieve peace is for Russia to leave, for us to continue standing with Ukraine, and for this to be a cross-party issue in the UK Parliament.
▸ Assessment & feedback
The specific commitment to support Ukrainian peace talks was not directly addressed.

▸ Context
The question arises from the sale of Chelsea football club and the need to distribute funds generated for humanitarian assistance.
Can he reassure the House that he is working flat out on making sure that the roughly £2 billion of funds generated from the sale of Chelsea football club gets distributed urgently and reaches those in desperate need due to Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine? Does he agree that Chelsea FC is effectively now one of the largest charitable organisations in the country?
David Lammy
This is an ongoing and complex issue. We endeavour to do the best that we can, at pace, and are unpicking much that happened under the previous Government.
