Motion text

That this House regrets the recent allocation of over £46 million of British taxpayers' money to support the Lebanese Internal Security Forces; believes that, in light of domestic pressures on public services, this should be cancelled if legally feasible; urges that such funds be redirected to support essential public services within the United Kingdom to prioritise Britain and Northern Ireland's public services over Beirut's; and calls on the Government to urgently review the criteria and decision-making processes for awarding contracts intended to assist foreign countries to prevent a recurrence of this nature.
