§ Mr. BowisTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made to the Israeli Government about plans to build new housing units for Israeli settlers in the occupied Palestinian west bank.
§ Mr. Douglas HoggWe continue to make very clear to the Israelis that we oppose all such activity. Israeli 187W settlements in the occupied territories, including east Jerusalem, are in our view illegal and an obstacle to the search for peace.
