answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2017 answer text <p>The FCO and its network of Embassies and High Commissions overseas has had extensive contact in the last 12 months with organisations that promote press freedom. This information is not recorded centrally and accordingly it would be impractical to attempt to produce a comprehensive list of such meetings and discussions. The Foreign Secretary himself met his Human Rights Advisory Group on 10 October to discuss current challenges to press freedom.</p><p>The FCO also supports projects run by organisations that promote press freedom. In the past 12 months, the FCO has granted more than £1.3 million from the Magna Carta Fund for Human Rights and Democracy to projects dedicated to freedom of expression and support for civil society.</p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 28/11/2017 16:57:37 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2017 answer text <p>The Government has concerns about allegations of mistreatment of Palestinian detainees and about Israel’s respect for its relevant obligations as an Occupying Power under applicable international law. While we have not made an assessment of the humanitarian needs of Palestinian detainees, a focus of UK human rights engagement is Palestinian minors in Israeli military detention, as we have concerns about the treatment of minors during arrest and interrogation. We have raised these concerns with the Israeli authorities on many occasions, and will continue to do so.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 28/11/2017 15:55:15 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
