Written question asked by Lord Hylton (Crossbench), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Howell of Guildford (Conservative) on Monday, 23 April 2012.


Israel and Palestine: West Bank

Question
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the two reports from European Union Heads of Mission in Jerusalem concerning the trebling in three years of attacks by settlers on the people of the West Bank; and what action they plan to take in response.
Answer

The documents to which the noble Lord refers are internal reports by the European Union Heads of Mission in Jerusalem and Ramallah, which are under consideration in Brussels. It is unfortunate that these documents have leaked. It is government policy not to comment on leaked documents.
