	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/04/2018 answer text <p>The Secretary of State for International Development has not recently held any discussions with her Israeli counterparts on economic revitalisation in Gaza. The UK remains gravely concerned about the humanitarian and economic situation in Gaza. In August 2017, Minister Burt met with Israeli officials to discuss various issues including the dire need to improve the humanitarian and economic situation in Gaza. We welcome all practical steps to improve conditions as a matter of urgency. HMG officials regularly discuss economic revitalisation in Gaza with their Israeli and Palestinian counterparts. For example, on 13 March, senior HMG officials attended a United States hosted conference on the humanitarian and economic situation in Gaza alongside representatives from 20 countries, including Israel.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 16/04/2018 14:37:12 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

We supported the WHO’s thirteenth General Programme of Work and its strong focus on UHC. We are promoting UHC through international forums such as the G7 and G20 to ensure greater collective action is agreed at the 2019 UN High-Level Meeting on UHC.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 10/09/2018 16:45:23 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
