Before we come to Prime Minister's questions, can I welcome in the gallery the President

and the delegation of the French National Assembly and also the knighthood to Sir Billy

Boston?

Anne Davies, Prime Minister's Questions.

Question one, please.

Mr Speaker, can I first wish you a happy birthday for yesterday?

Yes.

And say that we're all delighted that Sir Billy Boston, a great British sporting icon,

has received his richly deserved knighthood.

Long overdue, if I may say, for him, but also for rugby league.

Mr. Speaker, it's Carers Week, and I know the whole house will join me in celebrating the selfless dedication of our unpaid and young carers.

This weekend also marks the eighth anniversary of the Grenfell Tower Fire.

We will honour the 72 men, women and children who lost their lives by delivering meaningful and lasting change, a country with safe and secure homes for everyone

and where justice is done for the Grenfell community.

Acting alongside our allies, we've sanctioned individuals responsible for

inciting appalling settler violence and expansion.

We've done that to uphold human rights and defend the prospect of a two-state solution.

We will continue to support all efforts to secure a ceasefire, the release of all hostages,

despicably held by Hamas, and the humanitarian aid that needs to surge in.

Mr. Speaker, this morning I had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others.

In addition to my duties in this House, I shall have further such meetings later today.

David.
