September 15, 2012 10:57 AM
David signs parliamentary motion about recognition of Palestinian state

David and other Members of Parliament who signed the parliamentary motion

Bradford East MP, David Ward, has joined a cross-party campaign to persuade Foreign Secretary, William Hague, to back the motion for Palestinian statehood at the United Nations General Assembly due on September 27th.

A parliamentary motion tabled on Tuesday, and signed by David, has gathered over 64 signatures already and more are expected to sign before Parliament goes into recess on Tuesday.

Commenting, David said:

"I am proud to be a supporter of the Palestinians and I believe it is important to speak up for their rights and their identity as it often seems that the debate surrounding the issue is stifled."

"I signed this parliamentary motion because for us to move forward and have peace in these turbulent times it is important to recognise Palestine's statehood. I believe in a free, secure Palestine."

"I am confident that the motion for Palestinian statehood will be successful at the United Nations General Assembly."


A full list of all the signatories of the parliamentary motion can be viewed here.

    If you are a resident of the Bradford East constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
