Interpal

EDM number 786 in 2013-14, proposed by Kelvin Hopkins on 25/11/2013.
Categorised under the topics of Charities, Financial institutions, Financial services and Middle East.

That this House acknowledges the humanitarian work carried out for the people of Palestine by the British charity Interpal; commends the generosity of British donors to the charity; regrets that it has been denied full access to the banking system as a result of an unfounded designation by the US administration in 2003; notes that a US district court in New York saw no evidence that Interpal funded Hamas-supporting charities; further notes that the court threw out a case against NatWest Bank claiming it had knowingly facilitated Interpal's alleged provision of money to these charities; further notes that the Treasury successfully intervened in this case; and calls on the Government to press the US administration to rescind its damaging designation of Interpal.

This motion has been signed by a total of 38 MPs.
