The UK regularly calls on Israel to end illegal settlement expansion in the West Bank and closely monitors reports of further settlement advancements. We also call bilaterally, and in international fora, for Israel to provide a clear, transparent route to construction for Palestinians in Area C.
We continue to stress to the Israeli authorities the damage that their restrictions on movement, access and trade are doing to the living standards of ordinary Palestinians.

The UK is taking steps both bilaterally and in the European Union to support stronger economic ties with Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) countries.
The Gulf Cooperation Council suspended negotiations with the EU in 2008. However, the UK is working closely with European partners to build on existing Association Agreements (AA) in the region through the Union for the Mediterranean which brings together the EU and 15 countries of the MENA and Southern Mediterranean region. This work is an opportunity to reduce tariffs and further open up these markets for British businesses. The UK has also supported the opening of trade talks with Morocco, Tunisia, Jordan and Egypt. Of these, the most advanced trade talks are with Morocco; very recently an agreement was concluded to protect Geographical Indications (GIs).
UK Trade and Investment also has offices throughout the region working with business to increase UK exports, including a Middle East and North Africa marketing hub in Dubai. The Gulf region is also one of the priorities in the Government’s strategy for international education. In this regard the Government has recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Higher Education and Research with Kuwait (June 2014), and one on Mutual Recognition of Qualifications with the UAE (May 2013).

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what representations they have made to the government of Israel about civilian access and trade between the Abu Dis Township and Jerusalem.[HL959]
We remain deeply concerned about restrictions on freedom of movement between the West Bank and East Jerusalem. It remains difficult for Palestinians to enter East Jerusalem for work, education, medical treatment or religious worship.
Through our Embassy in Tel Aviv, we have lobbied the appropriate authorities on the issue of movement and access. There is no obligation under international law for free movement between Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. We nevertheless encourage both sides to show a constructive approach to this issue.

Working to reduce conflict is a priority for the UK. As part of this, the UK is committed to preventing the illicit trade in minerals, the proceeds of which have helped to perpetuate conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
The UK has strongly supported efforts to implement the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's due diligence guidance for responsible supply chains of minerals from conflict-affected and high-risk areas. We also remain committed to the Kimberley process certification scheme which directly tackles the financing of rebel groups through the sale of rough diamonds.
The Department for International Development is working with other donors and the DRC Government through a growth with governance in the mineral sector technical assistance project (ProMines) to put in place a system to certify mines that are not linked to conflict and to tag their products which will enable buyers to verify the source of minerals.
