Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to the Prime Minister's Joint Statement on the situation in the West Bank: 22 May 2026, if she will (a) urgently send British diplomats to visit the village of Khan al-Ahmar in the West Bank with other Heads of Mission and (b) make it her policy to sanction any UK company or company operating in the UK that submits a construction tender to build on illegally settled land in the West Bank.

On 3 June British diplomats visited the community in Khan al-Ahmar. We continue to follow developments in the West Bank closely. On the wider issue of illegal settlements, I refer the Hon Member to the answers that the Foreign Secretary and I gave at Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office Oral Questions on 21 April.
