British MP asks clarification on Israeli real estate event held in London

In relation to West Bank settlement activity, piecemeal and entirely inadequate measures last week to address this.It was raised to her at that point that the UK would be hosting a great Israeli real estate event at the weekend.She undertook to look into it.That event took place.At that event, properties in illegal settlements were being marketed on British territory.The government has been sent the evidence about this.

How is it that that this government fails even to prevent the marketing of illegal property in this country, and still fails to take action.The Secretary of State continues to tell us about the meetings that she's had, but what we want is leadership.The UK has a particular responsibility.Will she step up and ban trade with illegal settlements?

Well, Mr. Speaker, the And we have been very clear that not only should no businesses be engaging in trade or in marketing around the illegal settlements, They certainly should not be doing so on UK soil.And that is why my colleague, the Minister for the Middle East, North Africa, and also the DCMS have raised this now directly with the Advertising Standards Agency, because we take this so seriously.We have asked them now to urgently look into this and to reassure us that if there is any evidence of the advertising or promotion of property in illegal settlements, at this or any other events, they will uphold the law, regulations and guidance that apply.It is extremely important that those standards are met in the UK and that is exactly why we have raised this so seriously with the Assembly.Standards Agency.
