	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/03/2018 answer text While the Foreign Secretary has not recently discussed this specific issue with his Israeli counterpart, our Embassy in Tel Aviv and our Consulate-General in Jerusalem frequently urge both the Israeli and Palestinian authorities to take steps to improve conditions in Gaza. Every Israeli and Palestinian has the right to live in peace and security. We strongly condemn the recent attempted assassination of Prime Minister Hamdallah on 13 March, for which there is no justification. The UK continues to support the return of the legitimate Palestinian Authority to Gaza. We urge non-violence, dialogue and progress towards a sustainable Hamas-Fatah reconciliation and an improvement in the humanitarian situation in Gaza. answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 27/03/2018 17:16:05 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt previous answer version 50223 answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2017 answer text <p>Where local authorities have a regulatory responsibility the Government expects them to fulfil that obligation. Local authorities are, however, independent from central government and their accountability is to their local electorate. Decisions on service provision and expenditure are at the discretion of individual local authorities having regard to their statutory duties. Concern about the actions, services or decisions of any particular local authority should be raised in the first instance with the Chief Executive of the relevant council. If this does not resolve the matter satisfactorily then contact may be made with the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman and further information can be found at <a href="http://www.lgo.org.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.lgo.org.uk/</a></p> answering member constituency Nuneaton answering member printed Mr Marcus Jones question first answered 05/09/2017 09:12:11 answering member 4024 label Biography information for Mr Marcus Jones

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2018 answer text <p>Where it appears to a local authority that a vehicle in its area is abandoned, it has a duty to remove the vehicle, unless (in the case of vehicles not on a carriageway) the cost of moving the vehicle to the nearest carriageway would be unreasonably high. There is no statutory definition of ‘abandoned’, and it is for councils to determine whether any particular vehicle has been abandoned.</p><p>There is no statutory time frame for responding to reports of abandoned vehicles. Where a vehicle is abandoned on land that is ‘occupied’, the local authority must give the occupier 15 days’ notice that it proposes to remove the vehicle. The local authority is not entitled to remove the vehicle if the occupier objects to the proposal within that period. If the occupier gives the local authority permission to remove the vehicle during this 15-day period, the vehicle may be removed immediately, but there is no statutory time-frame for doing so.</p><p>It is up to councils to decide how best to meet their statutory duties in respect of abandoned vehicles, and how to prioritise this against other local services.</p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 16/01/2018 17:21:49 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey

Additional evidence can be submitted at any point up to where the case manager makes a decision. It’s a requirement that the PIP 2 questionnaire is returned within the deadline given, although rules and procedures allow claimants additional time to complete the form where that is reasonably required.</p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 05/12/2017 13:36:46 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton
