We will continue press for clarification from the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the implications of the law. The UK is strongly opposed to the Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions Movement against Israel. But we believe the best way to combat this movement is through discussion rather than legislation. Ultimately it is for Israel to decide its immigration policy.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 27/04/2017 12:08:43 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
