00:00Today I announce that the official view of the British government is that the occupation is unlawful.
00:07Because of Israel's entrenchment of its control, its intention to extend permanent sovereignty and its expansionist agenda via illegal settlements.
00:16Madam Deputy Speaker, our position is not just an overdue statement of reality.
00:20The government believes the unlawfulness of the occupation should be reflected in the economic relationships we choose to have with
00:28the occupied territories.
00:30I do not believe the British people want us supporting the occupation by accepting products from settlements in our shops
00:37and supermarkets.
00:38So I can announce today that we will introduce an import ban on goods from illegal settlements in the occupied
00:43territories.
