answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/10/2017 answer text <p>​We welcome the progress made towards the 'Red to Dead' water supply agreement between Israel and the Palestinians announced in July 2017. The fair and effective distribution of shared water resources across the Middle East is of great concern to us. These resources are limited and therefore require effective co-operation from all parties to manage them in such a manner that ensures there will be enough for all. Although this issue transcends the Arab-Israeli conflict, it is essential that Israel and the Palestinians discuss this issue and ensure that there is a just solution on shared water resources.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 25/10/2017 16:49:21 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/10/2017 answer text <p>The UK regularly raises the issue of water in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPTs) with the Israeli authorities to ensure fair distribution of water across the OPTs. The UK is a shareholder in a number of major international financial institutions, such as the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the European Investment Bank, which support infrastructure projects across the OPTs.</p><p>The Government also supports Bedouin communities facing demolition or eviction in Area C of the West Bank through our funding to the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) legal aid programme. This helps residents challenge decisions in the Israeli legal system. 97 per cent of cases provided with legal representation through NRC have resulted in suspension of demolitions and evictions, allowing Palestinians to remain in their homes.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 25/10/2017 16:53:43 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
