	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2015 answer text <p>During the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon. Friend the Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond)'s visit to the region in July, he urged the Israeli Government to ease restrictions on Gaza and for the parties to prioritise progress towards a durable solution, including taking the necessary steps to advance construction and economic development. Our Embassy in Tel Aviv and our Consulate-General in Jerusalem have frequently urged Israel to go further in easing movement and access restrictions on Gaza and for the Palestinian Authority to make progress on resuming control in Gaza. We welcome the steps that Israel has taken to ease some restrictions, for example on the water supply and food exports. However, we want to see Israel go much further, and we continue to call on Israel to do so. We will continue to work closely with international partners including the EU to promote a durable solution for Gaza.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 11/09/2015 12:32:40 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2015 answer text <p>We support the full implementation of UN Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1860. Many of the underlying problems that UNSCR 1860 sought to address in Gaza still exist. The UK frequently urges the parties to address these problems and to take the necessary steps to ensure Gaza’s reconstruction and economic recovery. During his recent visit to the region, the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon. Friend the Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond) urged the Israeli Government to ease restrictions on Gaza and pushed both parties to prioritise progress towards reaching a durable solution. We continue to work with our partners in the EU and elsewhere to drive forward progress in Gaza, including by seeking to address many of the issues highlighted in UNSCR 1860.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood grouped question UIN 8532 question first answered 11/09/2015 10:59:19 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
