answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/11/2016 answer text <p>​We routinely update our guidance to British businesses on the Overseas Business Risk website. Our guidance about Israel was last refreshed in September 2016. 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. When approached by businesses, we set out the UK’s clear position on Israeli settlements, and share with them our online guidance. This is voluntary guidance to British businesses on doing business in Israel and Occupied Palestinian Territories.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 24/11/2016 13:05:20 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
