Baroness Tonge – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Baroness Tonge on 2014-03-27.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what discussions they have had with their European partners concerning whether Israeli security personnel convicted of violating human rights law in the West Bank should be refused free visas in line with the policy of the United States State Department.

Lord Taylor of Holbeach

We have had no such discussions with EU partners. Israeli nationals coming to the UK as a visitor for less than six months do not require a visa. All other routes, will need a visa before travelling, where the usual rules, including fees and checks will be applied.
