Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the decision by the International Criminal Court (ICC) on 3 March to investigate individuals in the Occupied Palestinian Territories and Israel, what assessment they have made of the risk to British Armed Forces personnel of investigation by the ICC into alleged war crimes, regardless of the adequacy of investigations into the allegations within the UK.

I refer the noble Baroness to the reply given by my hon. Friend, the Minister for the Armed Forces (James Heappey), in the House of Commons on 9 March 2021 to the hon. Member for Bolton West (Chris Green) in response to Question 160692.
