answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/10/2015 answer text <p>I am extremely concerned by the violence that we have seen across Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories in recent weeks. This only strengthens my conviction that a negotiated two state solution is of the greatest urgency. We continue to consult with international partners as to the best means to make progress towards that goal, and to encourage the parties to take steps which lead us towards peace. In the current circumstances we are encouraging both sides to promote calm and avoid taking actions which could make peace more difficult. On 9 October, Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my Rt. Hon. Friend the Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond) spoke to President Abbas and urged him to do everything in his power to reduce tensions and restore calm. My officials and I have also been pushing the parties to implement steps that improve the situation on the ground and preserve the viability of the two state solution.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 26/10/2015 14:30:09 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2015 answer text <p>Use of IR-8 centrifuges for enrichment could significantly shorten breakout times. However, as reported in the 29 May report from the IAEA DG Iran currently has only one prototype IR-8 machine in place, without connections, in the research and development area at the Natanz nuclear facility. Ensuring that Iran’s use of advanced centrifuges is adequately constrained remains a key element of the E3+3 negotiations currently underway.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 07/07/2015 11:31:52 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
