	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2018 answer text <p>As for all DFID programmes, officials regularly monitor and review our programmes in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPTs) to ensure they are delivering results and that UK aid reaches the intended beneficiaries and achieves the best development outcomes, with a strong focus on ensuring value for money for the UK taxpayer. The processes in place include comprehensive annual reviews and project completion reports. These reviews are available on the DFID Development Tracker at <a href="https://devtracker.dfid.gov.uk/" target="_blank">https://devtracker.dfid.gov.uk/</a>. DFID has due diligence assessment processes to provide assurance over the expenditure of our funds, and DFID’s project spending in the OPTs is subject to annual, independent financial audit. The overall programme is also subject to the regular audit cycle of DFID’s Internal Audit Department and the National Audit Office. DFID has a zero-tolerance approach to fraud and has robust controls against diversion of aid to terrorist groups.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 15/05/2018 14:32:47 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2018 answer text <p>Our financial assistance to the Occupied Palestinian Territories helps to maintain stability and is underpinned by HMG’s long-standing objective that the only way to allow Palestinians and Israelis to live in peace is through a negotiated two-state solution. As joint-Minister for the Department for International Development and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, I ensure that my officials liaise closely to deliver development programmes in support of a two-state solution which requires collaborating equally with the Israeli Government and the Palestinian Authority.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 15/05/2018 14:36:10 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
