Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what are the latest developments in respect of the United Kingdom trading with Israeli settlements.

The UK Trade and Investment-Foreign and Commonwealth Office Overseas Business Risk website is the forum through which the British Government raises awareness of the key security and political risks which British businesses may face when operating abroad. Whenever asked by British businesses about settlements, we set out the UK’s clear position on the illegality of Israeli settlements under international law, and share with them our advice as set out in the online guidance, published 1 June 2014.

The link to the Overseas Business Risk website is below and our current guidance on Israeli Settlements is attached:
