Hezbollah's stated aim of the elimination of the state of Israel is totally unacceptable, as are Hezbollah's military and terrorist activities, particularly along the blue line, in the occupied territories and in Iraq. We call on Hezbollah to contribute to peace and security in the middle east by renouncing violence, disarming in compliance with UN Security Council resolution 1559, and entering into the democratic process on an exclusively non-violent basis.

As the hon. Gentleman knows, they are two distinct organisations. Hezbollah is partly a terrorist organisation, and it is partly operating within Lebanese law, as a legitimate political party in Lebanon. It has one Minister in the Lebanese Cabinet and another Minister is associated with Hezbollah. In that respect, they are different. In other respects, they are similar: they are rejectionist terrorist organisations and the way in which they operate in the occupied territories and against Israel is very similar. Those who have been the victims of terrorism would not notice the difference if they had been killed or injured as a result of that violence. That is why we call on both those organisations and on Islamic Jihad to stop their terrorist activity. We also call on the state of Syria to take action to prevent those organisations from operating, as they do, in its territory.

The Israelis are currently rehousing 1,000 settlers every month in the west bank—11,000 so far this year alone—which is greater than the number of settlers withdrawn from Gaza. Surely is that not also a threat to bringing peace between the two sides in the middle east?

We constantly make representations to the Government of Israel about their settlement policy, particularly where the settlements are on Palestinian land, and about the way in which some of the settlement activity is, in our view, intended to make unalterable facts on the ground and thereby restrict the opportunities available in final-status talks. That said, the quicker both parties get back to the road map and the current, more hopeful environment is pursued, the better it will be for Israelis and Palestinians alike.

I am grateful for what the hon. Gentleman said, overall. However, all organisations operating in the United Kingdom must do so within the law. Some organisations, including those that he mentioned, are kept under close scrutiny by law enforcement agencies. If there is any evidence that they are transgressing and they thus become candidates for proscription under the Terrorism Act 2000, my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary examines that evidence with great care. These are not just the usual warm words because the matter is kept under continuous review.

The Foreign Secretary, Foreign Office Ministers and Foreign Office officials have pointed out to the British public that sophisticated munitions, probably supplied from Iran, have gone into southern Iraq thanks to Hezbollah and have caused death and injury to British troops. The Foreign Secretary has rightly, in a broad sense, condemned Hezbollah. He has obviously outlined that there are limits, perhaps outside the UK, on what the British Government can do, but the British public would be surprised to think that the political wing of Hezbollah is allowed to function in London, given the facts that the Foreign Secretary and his officials have produced. What practical measures does he intend to take against the political wing of Hezbollah?

I do, and I have, condemned the attack by Hezbollah on the Sheba'a farms. I just point out that the Sheba'a farms are in Syria. They are not in Israel; nor are they, as Hezbollah claims, in Lebanon. They are unquestionably in Syria.
On the second point that my hon. Friend makes, we in the United Kingdom—I did this as Home Secretary—have proscribed, banned, the military wings of Hezbollah. We have not banned the whole organisation—the political wing. Discussions inside the EU continue about a wider ban, although I frankly do not anticipate that there will be any change on that by the end of our presidency.

I am not sure that I accept the hon. Lady's premise that there have been conflicting signals. The Prime Minister, the Foreign Secretary and I have all said the same thing, and I am glad that the US Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, publicly declared last night that she accepted what we were saying. The Prime Minister confirmed last week that new explosive devices have been used not only against British troops, but elsewhere in Iraq. The nature of those devices leads us either to Iranian elements or to Hezbollah. At this time, however, we cannot be certain of the precise destination to which that would take us. We continue to investigate the matter, but in the meantime we have made plain our views to the Iranian Government. We have presented evidence to the Iranians that, in our judgment, clearly links the improvised explosive devices that have been used against British and other troops, mainly in the south of Iraq, to Lebanese Hezbollah and to Iran. We hope that the publicly declared position of the Iranian Government will be followed through, because we all know that there cannot be a parallel track in this matter. Everyone should be absolutely committed to assisting the democratic process in Iraq. I hope that will be the outcome of the discussion.

The disarmament of non-Lebanese and Lebanese militias, including Hezbollah, as required by United Nations Security Council resolution (UNSCR) 1559, is a complex issue that will take time to implement. The Government believes that the process of disarming the militias in Lebanon needs to be Lebanese-led, and once the new government of Lebanon is formed we will be discussing with it how the UK and our international partners can assist with the full implementation of UNSCR 1559.

The UK has no plans to recognise Hezbollah. The UK only recognises states, not non-state actors.Hezbollah is a political, social, religious and self-styled national resistance movement. The UK proscribed part of Hezbollah, the External Security Organisation, as a terrorist organisation in February 2001 under the Terrorism Act 2000. In this context we keep the behaviour of Hezbollah, and its status, under constant review.In December 2001 our embassy in Beirut initiated contacts with Hezbollah, with ministerial approval. Since then there has been irregular contact. The last such contact with Hezbollah was in February 2005. In discussions with Hezbollah, British officials made clear the Government's well-known opposition to terrorism and the importance of Hezbollah's ending attacks on Israel and reducing tension along the Blue Line. No further such meetings are planned.
