answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/11/2014 answer text <p>I issued a statement on 29 October condemning the announcement of plans for 1,060 new housing units in East Jerusalem. I made it clear that this was an ill-judged and ill-timed decision, which makes it harder to achieve a two state solution with Jerusalem as a shared capital. Officials from our Embassy in Tel Aviv have raised this issue with the Israeli National Security Adviser, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Political-Military Adviser, senior contacts at the National Security Council and the Cabinet Office.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 07/11/2014 11:24:18 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
