To ask Her Majesty’s Government what representations they have made to the government of Israel concerning the use of rubber, and rubber-coated, bullets against civilians.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what representations they have made to the government of Israel concerning the use of rubber, and rubber-coated, bullets against civilians.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what reports he has received on the practice of Spain’s Guardia Civil firing rubber bullets into the sea and using similar tactics used to repel immigrants.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what reports he has received on the practice of Spain’s Guardia Civil firing rubber bullets into the sea and using similar tactics used to repel immigrants.
The British Government has not received any reports on such practices, beyond what has been reported in the media. The Spanish delegation provided a report to the Frontex Management Board, at their meeting in Warsaw on 19 February, about recent attempts by immigrants to enter Ceuta and Melilla. The UK is not a member of the Management Board, but attends the meetings by invitation.
Operational decisions on policing of borders are a member state competence. On 26 February, the Spanish Interior Minister announced that the Guardia Civil would no longer use rubber bullets in Ceuta and Melilla. A judicial investigation is currently under way in Spain. It would therefore be inappropriate to comment further.
Ensuring the security of the EU’s external borders is an issue of concern to all member states, which we continue to discuss in EU fora and with other relevant countries.
