Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Anelay of St Johns on 4 December (HL3192), what is their assessment of the use of live fire for crowd control.
This question was answered on 17th December 2014
In our conversations with Israeli interlocutors including the Israeli Police and the Israeli Defense Force, we urge investigations into all incidents of the use of live fire for crowd control. We are aware of the rise in the number of deaths resulting from live fire – in comparison to last year – and consistently and regularly encourage restraint in our follow-up on related incidents.
