Answer from Hansard
The Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs (Mr David Lammy)
We do not support forced displacement of Palestinians or any reduction in the territory of the Gaza strip. Palestinians must be able to live and prosper in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. That is why it is essential that we work together to ensure that all aspects of the ceasefire are implemented and that it becomes permanent.
