<p>The Foreign and Commonwealth Office has in the past received Written Parliamentary
Questions, on behalf of their constituents, and correspondence directly from members
of the public about British businesses operating in, and trading with, illegal Israeli
settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. We routinely update our guidance
to British businesses on the Overseas Business Risk website. We advise British businesses
to bear in mind the British Government's view on the illegality of settlements under
international law when considering their investments and activities in the region.
Ultimately it will be the decision of each individual or company whether to operate
in settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.</p>
