answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/06/2015 answer text We see merit in a balanced UN Security Council resolution at the right moment, setting out parameters for a political settlement. Any resolution must command the full support of the Security Council. The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon. Friend the Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond), has regular discussions with his French counterpart on the Middle East peace process. We will judge any proposal on the basis of whether it supports further progress in that process. answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 24/06/2015 13:44:44 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
