Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what his Department's policy is on imports from companies based in illegal Israeli settlements.
The UK and Israel have a strong and important trading relationship. However, we do not recognise the Occupied Palestinian Territories as part of Israel and indeed it is not covered by the current EU-Israel Association Agreement which governs our trade with Israel.
We are looking across the board to ensure a smooth transition for existing EU trade agreements in the region, and that will include the EU-Israel Association Agreement as well as the Interim Association Agreement with the Palestinian Authority.
