§ Mr. StottTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what information he has on the use by Israeli armed forces of bullets consisting of a large steel ball bearing coated with rubber; how many fatalities have been caused by such bullets; and if he will raise the matter with the Israeli Government and the United Nations.
§ Mr. EggarWe do not know how many fatalities have been caused by these bullets. The Israeli authorities are well aware of our concern at their use of excessive force against Palestinians in the occupied territories.
