answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/04/2016 answer text <p>We are concerned by the electricity shortage in Gaza and the serious impact it is having on the humanitarian situation. We are in regular dialogue with Israel, the Palestinian Authority and other development actors, specifically the European Union and UN, on the extension of the 161 power line and conversion of the Gaza power station to gas. The UK believes these are the immediate steps necessary to improving the situation in Gaza, however a more comprehensive lifting of restrictions as part of a political agreement is the only long-term solution.</p> answering member printed Baroness Verma question first answered 26/04/2016 14:49:42 answering member 3790 label Biography information for Baroness Verma
