	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/07/2014 answer text <p>We have not made an assessment of the potential effects of the imposition of economic sanction on Israel, as the UK does not believe that imposing sanctions on Israel would be a constructive step. We enjoy a close and productive relationship with Israel which enables us to express our views at senior levels very frankly. It is our assessment that imposing sanctions on Israel would lessen this influence, not increase it, and would not promote the urgent progress towards a two-state solution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict which we want to see.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 22/07/2014 14:55:15 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
