Aleppo and Syria

Proceeding contribution from Stephen Twigg (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 11 October 2016. It occurred during Emergency debate on Aleppo and Syria.

I absolutely concur with what my hon. Friend says about sanctions against Russia. I support the description of Russia’s role given by the right hon. Member for Sutton Coldfield in his opening speech. The Russians should hang their heads in shame for the role they are playing in Syria, and we should use every available means we have, including further sanctions, to put pressure on President Putin. This is a colossal failure of the international system. It is a stain on our humanity, and all of us must do all we can to redouble our efforts to bring peace to the people of Syria.
