answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/07/2014 answer text <p>We do not collect information on how often the official Envoy of the Quartet reports back to the United Nations, the United States and Russia. The Envoy regularly reports back on his work to the European Union and its Member States and we remain in close contact with him. This is in the form of meetings with Ministers and senior officials and the sharing of reports. The Office of the Quartet Representative's website, which contains information about the published outputs of the Envoy's work, is <a href="http://www.quartetrep.org/" target="_blank">http://www.quartetrep.org/</a></p><p>We do not collect information on how many visits of the Special Envoy to the Middle East Quartet has made. This type of information is not held centrally. <br><br>The Government does not provide any financial contribution towards maintaining the Office of the Quartet Representative (OQR) or towards the Envoys travel. However, the Department for International Development (DFID) currently seconds two civil servants to the Office of the Quartet Representative in Jerusalem, the cost of which for 2013/14 was £257,885.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Hugh Robertson question first answered 01/07/2014 09:08:56 answering member 1415 label Biography information for Sir Hugh Robertson
