Mr. David Young

None.

Mr. David Young

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made to the United States of America to press Israel to dismantle all settlements in Palestinian territory.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

We have kept in close touch with the Americans on this issue. We regularly make demarches to the Israelis urging them to cease the construction of settlements which is illegal and an obstacle to peace.
