§ 20. Miss HoeyTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what discussions he has had with Soviet and Israeli officials concerning the likely place of permanent settlement of Jews emigrating from the Soviet Union.
§ Mr. WaldegraveBoth the Soviet and Israeli authorities are aware of our view that Soviet Jews should have the right to emigrate freely but that Israeli settlements in the occupied territories, including east Jerusalem, are illegal. We and our European partners have urged the Israeli Government not to jeopardise prospects for peace by allowing or encouraging Jewish immigrants to settle in the occupied territories.
