answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/03/2018 answer text <p>UK financial assistance to the Palestinian Authority (PA) contributes to the salaries of individual vetted health and education public servants in the West Bank on the EU Palestinian-European Socio-Economic Management Assistance (PEGASE) list. These individuals are screened against international and ad hoc sanctions lists. They are then deployed to schools across the West Bank by the PA. The EU PEGASE mechanism therefore focuses on ensuring that individuals are comprehensively vetted and that UK funds are traced to the end beneficiary rather than focussing on where each individual is deployed at any one time.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 22/03/2018 15:10:36 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
