Sir Nicholas Soames: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what the Government's policy is in respect of the two-state solution for Israel and Palestine.

Mr Tobias Ellwood, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Minister for the Middle East and Africa): The UK Government’s longstanding policy on the Middle East peace process is well known. We support a negotiated settlement leading to a safe and secure Israel living alongside a viable and sovereign Palestinian state.
