For example on 24 September, Her Majesty's Ambassador to Israel raised demolitions with Israel's Justice Minister Shaked and on 10 September the Prime Minister, my right hon. Friend the Member for Witney (David Cameron), and the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my hon.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/02/2016 answer text <p>We are aware of reports of alleged violations of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) by all sides to the conflict and take these very seriously. It is important that all sides conduct thorough and conclusive investigations into all incidents where it is alleged that IHL has been breached. As the Saudi Arabian authorities announced on 31 January, they have mechanisms in place to investigate alleged incidents and to learn lessons if things go wrong. The Ministry of Defence also monitors incidents of alleged IHL violations using a range of available information, which in turn informs our overall assessment of IHL compliance in Yemen. At this stage, looking at all the information available to us, we have not assessed that there has been a breach of IHL by the coalition, but we continue to monitor the situation closely, seeking further information where appropriate.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 12/02/2016 11:46:21 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
