Will the Leader arrange an early debate with regard to the atrocities that have been committed throughout many countries over the Christmas period and in the lead-up to Christmas?

In Pakistan 47 people were killed with more than 100 injured while in Iraq, two people were killed and more than 12 injured and in Egypt, 21 people were killed and more than 100 injured. Up to 80% of these were Christians.
