That this House recognises that today marks the 1,000 day anniversary of the beginning of the civil war in Yemen; notes that the war has caused the worst humanitarian crisis of this generation with 80 per cent of Yemen's population requiring urgent humanitarian assistance; further notes that the Saudi Arabian supported coalition still enforces a blockade on Yemen that may be in prohibition of international humanitarian law; calls on the Government to use all the leverage that it has to ensure that the coalition blockade is lifted; and urges the Government to use every diplomatic instrument available to bring this conflict to an end.

This motion has been signed by a total of 20 MPs.
