Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to review the effectiveness of guidance given to UK businesses and banks against trading with illegal settlements in the West Bank; and what action they will take to strengthen that guidance where necessary.

​We routinely update our guidance to British businesses on the Overseas Business Risk website. We advise British businesses to bear in mind the Government's view on the illegality of settlements under international law when considering their investments and activities in the region.
