6Economic Activity of Public Bodies (Overseas Matters) Bill: Third Reading
Secretary Michael Gove signified King’s consent, as far as His Majesty’s interest is concerned.
Motion made and Question proposed, That the Economic Activity of Public Bodies (Overseas Matters) Bill be now read the third time.
Amendment moved, to leave out from ‘That’ to the end of the Question and add ‘this House, while opposing any discrimination or prejudice in the economic activities of public bodies, believing that all such bodies must act without bias or selectivity when making ethical decisions on procurement and investment and recognising the impact selective and biased campaigns have had on the Jewish community in particular, declines to give a Third Reading to the Economic Activity of Public Bodies (Overseas Matters) Bill because it does not effectively address the problem it rightly seeks to solve, is incompatible with international law and UN Security Council Resolutions, risks undermining support for groups around the world facing persecution, includes needlessly broad and sweeping draconian powers while placing unprecedented restrictions on public bodies to express a view on current and proposed policy and represents a major departure from the UK Government’s long-established diplomatic position on the Occupied Palestinian Territories and Golan Heights, in a way that undermines the UK’s future credibility and capacity to support diplomatic negotiations towards a just and lasting peace in Israel and Palestine based on a two-state solution, at a time when consistent support for that objective is more important than ever.—(Angela Rayner.)
