We are extremely concerned at the large increase in demolitions in the Occupied Palestinian Territories since the start of 2016, compared to the monthly average in 2015. The Foreign Secretary, my Rt Hon. Friend the Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond) has not specifically discussed this issue with his counterpart. However, our Embassy in Tel Aviv continues to raise our concern about demolitions regularly with the Israeli authorities, most recently on 15 May. We call on Israel to provide a legal route for Palestinians to obtain building permits.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 23/05/2016 15:54:10 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

IAEA access to the site remains an important step in addressing the Agency’s concerns. We fully support the IAEA’s work on this crucial issue. A comprehensive agreement between the E3+3 and Iran remains the best way to ensure Iran’s nuclear programme is peaceful going forward.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 20/11/2014 14:54:52 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
