Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if his Department will consider suspending all trade between the UK and Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

Israel's illegal settlements and decisions designed to further them are a flagrant violation of international law. We make businesses aware of the UK position to discourage trade with settlements, as outlined in the Overseas Business Risk Guidance.

We also continue to consider a wide range of measures in relation to how we respond to the situation in the West Bank. This remains a priority for this Government and we welcome Parliament’s continued engagement on this matter. We will inform the House of any developments in our position.
