The EU vets the list of PA health and education sector employees before every disbursement of financial aid to ensure only eligible beneficiaries receive UK aid, at a range of grades based on the PA payroll system. These payments are then independently audited. The average salary and number of employees earning in excess of 2,000 NIS per month who receive UK aid therefore could change each time a disbursement is made. The data necessary to calculate figures for every DFID disbursement is held by the EU.</p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison grouped question UIN 261075 261076 261077 question first answered 11/06/2019 16:41:11 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison

The report made some concerning allegations which we are currently assessing. The UK government is working with the Palestinian Ministry of Education and Higher Education to support a high quality education including through its curriculum. Our partnership with the PA includes a commitment from the Palestinian leadership to adhere to the principle of non-violence and to tackle language and actions that could incite violence or hatred. We continue to urge them to uphold this principle.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2017 answer text <p>UK financial assistance to the Palestinian Authority is only used to help pay the salaries of health and education public servants in the West Bank. Only named public servants from a pre-approved EU list are eligible and a robust verification system validates that funds are used for the intended purposes. This enables around 25,000 young Palestinians to get an education, provides up to 3,700 immunisations for children, and around 185,000 medical consultations annually.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 23/10/2017 16:31:29 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
