HC Deb 07 March 1990 vol 168 c697W
64. Mr. Ernie Ross

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will increase the complement of the consulate in Jerusalem in order to monitor more effectively Israeli human rights practices in the occupied territories.

Mr. Waldegrave

The consulate-general in Jerusalem is doing an excellent job with its existing complement. We see no grounds at present for increasing this although, as with all Her Majesty's missions overseas, the situation is kept under regular review.

71. Mr. McAllion

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he intends to support the European Economic Community decision to review scientific agreements with Israel because of its treatment of Palestinians in the occupied territories.

Mr. Maude

There has been no such decision by the Community.
