answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/12/2017 answer text <p>As I set out in the Westminster Hall debate on 6 December the UK position on demolitions is clear: we consider them entirely unacceptable. In all but the most exceptional cases, they are contrary to international humanitarian law. Demolitions or evictions of Palestinian families from their homes cause unnecessary suffering and call into question Israel’s commitment to a viable two-state solution. The UK is particularly concerned by Israeli proposals to relocate the Bedouin population from the E1 area, which the UN has said could constitute forcible transfer.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 15/12/2017 14:05:09 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
