This is to support successful transition into civilian life.</p><p>In conjunction with this new policy, we are creating a new organisation to deliver further support to those Service leavers who face the greatest challenges to making a successful transition when they leave the Armed Forces. The service will be available to all leavers and will be based on the need of the individual.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 22/07/2019 16:18:31 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/10/2014 answer text <p>During my visit to Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories between 5-8 October, I was informed by the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs that Israel is letting around 400 trucks of humanitarian aid from Israel into Gaza every day. The number of businessmen being allowed from Gaza to the West Bank is up to 200 per day. 1,500 Gazans had travelled to the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Israel for Eid this week. Fishing goods and agricultural goods were now being transferred for sale in the West Bank. While this is a start to the progress of lifting the restrictions, the current ceasefire provides a critical window of opportunity for reaching a comprehensive agreement that tackles the underlying causes of the conflict, which should ensure that Israel lifts its restrictions fully as we have been calling Israel to do.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 17/10/2014 12:16:52 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
