Middle East
Debate between Lord Lemos and Lord Mohammed of Tinsley
Lord Mohammed of Tinsley (LD)
My Lords, there have been plenty of Conservative contributions. I want to press the Minister. He said the Government would regularly review potential action against those involved in illegal settlement activities. Will they commit to reviewing that on a monthly basis, as asked by my colleague Calum Miller in the other place?
Lord Lemos (Lab)
I do not think I quite have the authority to give that commitment on behalf of the Government today. As the noble Lord knows, and as I said in my opening response to the noble Lord, Lord Purvis, I am not going to give a running commentary on future arrangements about sanctions. That is not the Government’s view. However, as I have said, we are at the forefront in relation to West Bank settlements, and we will continue to review that as necessary.
