TUC
The Trades Union Congress's motion on divestment from companies linked to West Bank settlements is being highlighted in council discussions.
Kensington and Chelsea Council's pension fund investments are under scrutiny, with public speakers urging divestment from companies linked to alleged violations in West Bank settlements. At a Full Council meeting on 21 October 2026, speakers highlighted the Trades Union Congress's recent motion supporting divestment from companies complicit in Israel's actions.
The TUC's motion was cited as part of an argument that pension funds may consider non-financial factors without significant financial risk. The Trades Union Congress is a federation of trade unions in England and Wales. No further council discussions on this specific topic are currently scheduled.
