LIVE BLOG: British MPs vote on recognising Palestinian state - update 13th October 2014

Alan Duncan, a British Conservative Party politician and former minister for international development, is the next to step up.

Cheers go up as Duncan says: "recognition is not a reward for anything, it's a right."

Duncan goes on to say that endorsing a state is not the same as endorsing a government, referring to Hamas.
