uin	133916
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/03/2018 answer text While the Foreign Secretary has not recently discussed this specific issue with his Israeli counterpart, our Embassy in Tel Aviv and our Consulate-General in Jerusalem frequently urge both the Israeli and Palestinian authorities to take steps to improve conditions in Gaza. Every Israeli and Palestinian has the right to live in peace and security. We strongly condemn the recent attempted assassination of Prime Minister Hamdallah on 13 March, for which there is no justification. The UK continues to support the return of the legitimate Palestinian Authority to Gaza. We urge non-violence, dialogue and progress towards a sustainable Hamas-Fatah reconciliation and an improvement in the humanitarian situation in Gaza. answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 27/03/2018 17:16:05 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt previous answer version 50223 answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

uin	133281
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/03/2018 answer text <p>The Government regularly discusses the security situation with Israeli officials at all levels. Our commitment to Israel's security is unwavering. Israel has the right to ensure its own security, and its citizens have the right to live without fear of attack. Rocket attacks indiscriminately threaten the daily lives of Israelis and make achieving peace more difficult. The UK continues to support a negotiated agreement between the Israelis and the Palestinians which will protect Israeli citizens and ensure their safety. We call on all parties to refrain from violence and commit to a negotiated solution to end the conflict.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 22/03/2018 16:12:08 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/03/2016 answer text <p>The UK National Screening Committee recommended in 2015 that screening for hearing loss in adults should not be offered because:</p><p> </p><p>- although hearing loss in older adults is a serious public health problem the evidence is too limited to establish the type of screening test to be used, the severity of hearing loss to target, the age of the population to be screened and the frequency of screening;</p><p>- uncertainty on the effectiveness of the long term use of hearing aids and on the effectiveness of additional interventions aimed at improving the duration of hearing aid use; and</p><p>- the absence of randomised controlled trials of screening in the general population. Screening has not been shown to provide any hearing related improvement in quality of life in comparison to hearing loss identified in other ways.</p><p> </p><p>There are currently no plans by Public Health England to run an awareness campaign on adult hearing loss.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 21/03/2016 17:40:40 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
