	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2015 answer text <p>While we do not speak to Hamas, we have had discussions with the other parties pressing for urgent measures to relieve the humanitarian suffering of those in Gaza, including the rebuilding of homes destroyed in the Gaza conflict of 2014. The UK regularly urges the Israeli authorities to intensify measures to support Gaza’s reconstruction and economic development. We are also urging Egypt, which has played an important role in encouraging the international community to support the reconstruction of Gaza, to show maximum flexibility in opening the Rafah crossing. We receive regular representations from the Palestinian Authority on rebuilding of homes in Gaza, and have urged the Palestinian Authority to take steps to return to Gaza.</p><p>The UK is also supporting the temporary Gaza Reconstruction Mechanism to facilitate the import of construction materials into Gaza. The Department for International Development is providing £0.7 million to the Materials Monitoring Unit which oversees and monitors the import, storage, supply and use of construction materials into Gaza.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 11/09/2015 13:11:45 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

	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 16/03/2015 answer text <p>The United Kingdom operates one of the most rigorous and transparent arms export control regimes in the world, and is committed to promoting robust and effective national and international arms export control regimes. We do not approve exports where there is a clear risk that the export could be used in any way which would contravene any of the Consolidated EU and National Arms Export Licensing Criteria (known as the Consolidated Criteria). Risks around human rights violations and conflict are a key part of our assessment. The Government will not issue an export licence if there is a clear risk that the proposed export might be used for internal repression or to provoke or prolong armed conflicts or aggravate existing tensions or conflicts in the country of final destination.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 16/03/2015 17:38:45 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
