Lord Mohammed of Tinsley Excerpts

Wednesday 10th June 2026 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Foster of Oxton (Con)]

My Lords—

[Lord Mohammed of Tinsley (LD)]

My Lords—

[Lord Austin of Dudley (Non-Afl)]

We want to hear from the noble Baroness, Lady Foster.

--- Later in debate ---

[Baroness Wheeler (Lab)]

My Lords, we have just had a Conservative contributor. We will now listen to the Lib Democrats.

[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.
