answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>Since 2013, UK aid to the Palestinian Authority has been used to pay civil servant salaries only. Our funding has previously contributed to the PA overall budget, which funded three types of payments linked to political prisoners in Israeli jails who had been convicted, were pending trial or were in administrative detention. The first was a minimal allowance to Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails intended to cover the cost of food and clothes at the request of the Israeli Authorities. The second was a welfare payment for family members where the primary provider is incarcerated. The third was support to help former prisoners reintegrate into society and find employment.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Mr Alan Duncan question first answered 14/07/2014 16:01:16 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan
