That this House notes that olive groves are an important part of the Palestinian economy; further notes that the separation wall currently being constructed by Israel separates many Palestinian farmers from their olive groves and that the United Nations has stated that one million trees will be inaccessible or access restricted behind the barrier once the route is completed; recognises that economic progress is vital for peace; and calls upon the Government to make strong representations to the government of Israel to allow Palestinian farmers full access to their olive groves.
