answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2016 answer text <p>We are aware of reports of Hamas’ rearmament in Gaza. We remain deeply concerned by Hamas' attempts to rearm and its efforts to rebuild infrastructure, including the tunnel network in Gaza. We are clear that Hamas and other militant groups in Gaza must permanently end rocket fire and other attacks against Israel. Any Hamas rearmament undermines efforts to improve the situation in Gaza and harms prospects for peace and stability in the Middle East.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 21/01/2016 14:44:08 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

uin	214087
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2014 answer text We have serious concerns over evidence of ongoing Iranian support for a number of terrorist groups in the Middle East, including Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the military wings of Hizballah and Hamas. Such activity is in contravention of UN sanctions and undermines regional security. During our bilateral engagement with Iran over the past year, we have raised our concerns over Iran’s activities in Syria and its support for militant groups across the Middle East. We hope that the Iranian government will respond to the shared threat from ISIL by aligning their approach with the international community’s efforts to bring stability to Iraq and Syria. answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 19/11/2014 14:27:34 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/06/2014 answer text <p>The works currently being undertaken by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) in King Charles Street are part of the Department's UK Estate Reform Project. This involves the consolidation of the FCO's London HQ presence into a single office building. The project is a major reconfiguration of the King Charles Street building and will release the Old Admiralty Building to the Department for Education. This will allow leased office space to be vacated and overall Government spending on the UK Civil Estate to be reduced.</p><p>The gantry being installed in King Charles Street will be completed by the end of June 2014 and will remain in situ for the duration of the project, which is due to be completed in summer 2015. The scaffold is part of the Planning &amp; Listed Building Consent granted by Westminster Council. When completed, the gantry will extend over the pavement between Clive Steps and the western side of the main entrance to the FCO building. Pedestrians will still be able to walk up King Charles St and the main entrance to the FCO will remain fully accessible.</p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 24/06/2014 15:28:33 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington
