ANDOVER'S MP Kit Malthouse interrupted a ministerial statement to condemn the Labour government over its stance on genocide in Gaza.
The Conservative MP asked MP Hamish Falconer, the Parliamentary Under-Secretary in the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, why the government had kept sanctions limited.
He questioned the minister on the government's response to what has been called a genocide in Gaza by Amnesty International, adding: "If the situation were reversed, we would now be mobilising, quite rightly, mobilising the British Armed Forces as part of an international protection force.

The Conservative backbencher previously accused the government of involving 'inherent racism' in its policies, which meant 'Palestinian lives matter much less than any other lives'.
In response, Mr Falconer defended the government, saying that he 'wants to remind' Mr Malthouse that 'the Labour government has a profoundly different position towards these issues than the Conservative government before us'.
He added that the government has 'taken a series of steps', continuing 'most recently' before being interrupted by Mr Malthouse.
The MP of North West Hampshire said to the House of Commons that 'not a single thing has changed', adding 'nothing, they're ignoring you now'.
"They're killing dozens of people every day," he concluded.
