HC Deb 26 March 2002 vol 382 c805W
Richard Burden

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made to the Government of Israel about overflights by the Israeli airforce in Lebanon. [43483]

Mr. Bradshaw

Embassy officials in Tel Aviv regularly raise overflights with the Israeli authorities, most recently on 26 February 2002. I did so when I visited Israel in July 2001. We remain concerned about continuing tension on the Israeli/Lebanese border. All breaches of the UN delineated "Blue Line", whether by land, sea or air are unacceptable.
