I will be very brief. It is a matter of some urgency. I am simply asking that in reflection of the motion on Aleppo that was passed unanimously in this House, the Leader remind the Government of that motion and urge it to take immediate action to press for a ceasefire. I know we have talked about a debate. We have seen those on the ground who called for a three-day ceasefire now calling for a three-hour ceasefire to ensure that extraordinarily vulnerable citizens have an opportunity to get out and access safety. The crisis is urgent. I would love it if the Leader would report back - perhaps even tomorrow - as to whether the Government has been able to reflect the motion by pressing for a ceasefire wherever possible.
