Our timeline for the textbook review remains unchanged. We expect to be able to announce our partners in the review and the start of work on this project shortly. We cannot yet provide further information owing to ongoing commercial discussions, but we will inform interested parliamentarians as soon as possible. In the interim, we are continuing to raise our concerns about incitement in education, which I did personally at a meeting with the Palestinian Education Minister in January 2019.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 11/03/2019 17:26:45 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

uin	228548
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/03/2019 answer text <p>The UK is concerned about the effects of US and Israeli cuts to the PA’s budget on both the PA’s ability to deliver essential services to Palestinians and on the prospects for peace and stability in the region. The Palestinian Ministry of Finance and Planning has not published details of the planned reductions in wages announced last month. DFID officials will engage with the PA to assess the implications for PEGASE beneficiaries. The UK continues to support a stable PA which can act as an effective partner for peace with Israel through financial assistance to the health and education sectors to exclusively support the salaries of vetted public servants in the West Bank.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 11/03/2019 17:36:28 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
