Public Bodies: Israel Boycotts

Debate between Baroness Eaton and Baroness Stowell of Beeston

Thursday 25th February 2016 Lords Chamber

[The Lord Privy Seal (Baroness Stowell of Beeston) (Con)]

My Lords, I think that the House wishes to hear from my noble friend Lady Eaton.

[Baroness Eaton]

Thank you. Three-quarters of Palestinian exports are destined for Israel and Israeli goods account for two-thirds of the West Bank’s imports. Does the Minister agree that a boycott of West Bank goods would be detrimental to the Palestinian economy?
