How did my MP vote on UK ‘anti-BDS bill’? Labour position on Economic Activity of Public Bodies Bill explained

MPs have voted through a bill which would prevent public bodies, including councils, from boycotting countries such as Israel.

The legislation - officially called the Economic Activity of Public Bodies (Overseas Matters) Bill - has become known as the anti-boycott bill. It would block public bodies from taking part, for example, in the BDS (boycott, divestment and sanctions) movement, which protests against Israel’s ongoing conflict and dispute with Palestinians.

Russia and Belarus will be exempted from the ban, however the bill states that Israel, the occupied Palestinian territories or the Golan Heights cannot be made exempt by ministers. This has caused criticism from both Labour and Tory backbench MPs.

Former Conservative Cabinet minister Kit Malthouse warned that ministers risk “playing into the anti-semitism” that has increased in the UK in recent months, by including the carve-out for Israel and the Palestinian territories. Malthouse was one of eight Tory MPs to rebel against the government and vote against the bill. These included former Cabinet minister George Eustice and Foreign Affairs Committee chair Alicia Kearns.

While Labour Deputy Leader Angela Rayner explained that her party’s issue with the legislation was “explicitly equating Israel with the occupied Palestinian territories and the Golan Heights”.

Labour put forward an amendment to axe the bill, as it says it “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”. That however was voted down.

What is the Economic Activity of Public Bodies Bill?

The Economic Activity of Public Bodies (Overseas Matters) Bill implements a ban on public bodies imposing their own direct or indirect boycotts, disinvestment or sanctions campaigns against other countries.

The bill allows for the Government to make regulations to exempt certain countries or territories from the restrictions, paving the way for public bodies to boycott or divest against them. It is intended that Russia and Belarus will be exempted from the ban immediately.

Communities Secretary Michael Gove said the government’s approach sought to “stand up for what is right” and he labelled the BDS campaign “anti-semitic”. The government argues the Bill affirms that UK foreign policy is a matter for the UK Government and not local authorities.

He said: “If we look at local government and… at devolved administrations, the only country that has been singled out so far for boycott, divestment and sanctions campaigns has been Israel. Let’s not hide from that fact. And the reason for that is that the BDS campaign is in itself anti-semitic.

“It’s not exercising disapproval of some particular foreign policy or domestic policy decision of the state of Israel. It is saying that Israel should not exist.” Addressing the question of why the bill explicitly mentions Israel, he said: “Sometimes you do just have to stand up for what is right. And if there are people who are provoked as a result of that, that is regrettable, but we should not shy away from telling the truth.”

While the Local Government Association said: “Awarding public contracts based on non-commercial considerations, such as the territory of the supplier or supplies has for many years not been permitted under Section 17 of the Local Government Act 1988.”

What is BDS?

The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement is a Palestinian-led campaign to isolate and boycott Israel over the occupation of the West Bank and the Gaza strip. The BDS movement states: “Israel is occupying and colonising Palestinian land, discriminating against Palestinian citizens of Israel and denying Palestinian refugees the right to return to their homes. Inspired by the South African anti-apartheid movement, the BDS call urges action to pressure Israel to comply with international law.”

More than a dozen student unions and UK universities have taken part in the BDS movement in recent years, by refusing to sell Israeli products. However critics, like the Housing Secretary Michael Gove, have described it as anti-semitic. 

In its written evidence about the bill, the Board of Deputies of British Jews - which represents the UK’s Jewish community - said: “The BDS campaign against Israel is a targeted campaign that singles out the world’s only Jewish state and aims to turn it into a global pariah. Within Jewish communities worldwide, there is strong opposition to the BDS movement, and the UK Jewish community is no exception.” It added that many Jews “see such a boycott in similar terms” to the Nazis blocking Jewish services and businesses in the 1930s.

What is Labour’s position on the bill?

Labour is against the bill as it says it contradicts the UK’s foreign policy of a two-state solution, and has introduced an amendment to scrap it. Deputy leader Angela Rayner previously said: “We have serious reservations about how this bill will effectively rewrite UK foreign policy by explicitly equating Israel with the occupied Palestinian territories and the Golan Heights.

“This is an unprecedented step that to my knowledge has never been taken in British statute before and is unique in any British legislation. An essential cornerstone of British policy supported across this House, and indeed at the UN, is support for a two-state solution as a viable long-term solution to give Israelis and Palestinians the recognition and security that they deserve.

“Not only does the wording of this bill call into question the long-standing position of the UK in supporting a two-state solution, it runs counter to the UN resolutions.” While Wayne David, Labour MP for Caerphilly, has written a piece for Labour List explaining his party’s objections to the bill.

He said the bill “is a badly drafted law riddled with problems and contradictions”, saying that MPs have objected to “its draconian restrictions on free speech, its threat to actions in support of persecuted people across the world, to its roughshod approach to devolution”.

He wrote: “In diplomatic terms, the most damaging part of the bill is that it treats the Occupied Palestinian Territories as though they were in effect the same as the State of Israel. This runs directly counter to decades of British diplomacy by Conservative and Labour governments alike, and it could not come at a worse time.”
