§ Lord Hyltonasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will prosecute under Article 146 of the Fourth Geneva Convention all Israelis within their jurisdiction suspected of having deported Palestinians from the Occupied Territories and Gaza, and ask all signatories of the convention to do likewise.
The Earl of CaithnessWe have consistently opposed deportations from the Occupied Territories as being inconsistent with Israel's obligations under the Fourth Geneva Convention. But we do not believe that the action proposed would influence Israeli policies in the Occupied Territories—including the deportation policy—or that it would advance the search for peace.
