Question to the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, what assessment his Department has made of the potential benefits of the use of mandatory origin labelling in preventing goods produced in illegal Israeli settlements from entering the UK.

The measures announced by the Foreign Secretary on 8 September will restrict the import of goods originating in illegal settlements into the UK.

This restriction will be enforced through the UK sanctions regime and will be focused on ensuring that goods originating in illegal settlements are not allowed to be imported into the UK. As such, mandatory origin labelling will not be required as sanctioned goods will not be permitted to enter the UK.
