	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2018 answer text <p>​My officials have looked into the matter and understand that demolitions are carried out by private contractors on behalf of the Israeli authorities. I can assure you that the Government is fully committed to encouraging respect for human rights among UK businesses, including promoting the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Guidelines. Where a company decides to trade is however a decision for each company to reach. At Prime Minister’s Questions on 17 October, the Prime Minister reiterated the UK’s strong opposition to Israel’s proposed demolition of Khan al-Ahmar.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 22/10/2018 16:07:46 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2017 answer text <p>Whilst we have not raised the specific case with the Israeli authorities we are in close contact with our Dutch counterparts in the Occupied Palestinian Territories about this incident. We are gravely concerned by the continued confiscation and demolition of Palestinian property and regularly raise the matter with the Israeli authorities. Demolitions and evictions of Palestinians from their homes and confiscation of Palestinian property cause unnecessary suffering; call into question Israel’s commitment to a viable two-state solution; and, in all but exceptional cases, are contrary to International Humanitarian Law.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 17/07/2017 16:46:29 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
