House of Lords written question – answered at on 29 November 2011.
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they have received reports concerning segregation on buses between villages and settlements in the West Bank.
We are aware of recent action taken by groups of non-violent protesters to board buses transiting between settlements. Although there is not a de jure ban on Palestinians using them, there is a de facto block as they often start and finish in settlements that Palestinians are prevented from entering. We will continue to lobby the Government of Israel to make sure that all infrastructure projects and facilities in the Occupied Territories are for the benefit of the local population.
