§ Mr. Cartwrightasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made to the Israeli Government about their continued establishment of Jewish settlements in Arab territories occupied during the 1967 war; and what has been the response.
§ Mr. JuddDetails of the exchanges between the British and Israel Governments must remain confidential. However, the latter are well aware of our view that we regret their policy of establishing settlements in occupied territory, which can only impede negotiations and the achievement of peace in the Middle East.
