To ask Her Majesty’s Government what provision has been made for the refuelling of aircraft required to use the diversionary runway at Leuchars.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many F-35 aircraft have been delivered to the United Kingdom.

My Lords, there is a strong argument that the inaction of the United Kingdom and the United States in 2013 created a vacuum, but the existence of a vacuum, exploited by Russia, can never justify the indiscriminate bombing by Russian aircraft, flown by Russian or Syrian pilots, of children, hospitals and refugees. This is wholly contrary to the Geneva Conventions.
