Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what representations the UK Embassy in Israel has made to the Government of Israel over the last six months concerning the UK's stated objection to the E1 proposal.

I refer the Rt Hon Member to the answers that the Foreign Secretary and I gave on illegal settlements at the last session of departmental oral questions on 21 April. We continue to be clear with Israel that we oppose the E1 settlement plan.
