Quakers have welcomed the news that five opposition parties have called for the British government to end arms sales to Saudi Arabia. The letter signed by leaders of the Labour Party, Scottish National Party, Liberal Democrats, Plaid Cymru and the Green Party says the policy has contributed to a catastrophic humanitarian crisis. It was released on the fourth anniversary of the start of the Yemen civil war.
