An organisation which has featured Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh at a seminar is to hold a meeting at the House of Commons, with the support of five Labour MPs.

MPs Sir Gerald Kaufman, Andy Slaughter, Jeremy Corbyn and Andy Love are the guest speakers at the Palestinian Return Centre's (PRC) meeting on June 18 at the House of Commons to mark International Refugee Day.

Fellow MP Ian Murray co-sponsored the group's use of the room in the Palace of Westminster, but will not attend himself due to prior commitments.

Mr Haniyeh was the guest speaker at the PRC's annual conference in 2009.
