Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent discussions his Department has had with other EU member states on demolition of EU-funded buildings in the Occupied Palestinian Territories and compensation for those buildings.

We have consulted EU partners on the issue of demolitions. They share our concerns. The EU collectively condemned demolitions in Foreign Affairs Council conclusions on 18 January. The EU has not to date asked for compensation for EU funded infrastructure. No decision has been made yet as to whether to claim compensation in the future.
