I will ask the next question on Palestine very quickly because I have just two minutes. Do we have information on where companies are operating in the occupied territories? Do the witnesses have details that can be shared about investments we have in Israel full stop, not just companies that might be operating in the occupied territories but that are based in or operating in Israel? Some of us – not least quite a few human rights organisations - happen to believe that the whole system is apartheid and we should not be investing in it. Whether the Government agrees or not with that, I wonder if we could have access to the information on where we may have investment in the State of Israel? Is that information available?
