answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/01/2015 answer text <p>We have long believed that direct negotiations towards a two state-solution need to be on the basis of clear, internationally agreed, parameters. We therefore welcomed the idea of an United Nations Security Council Resolution on the Middle East Peace Process which sets these out. We supported much of the content of the resolution. However, there were important issues which required proper negotiation, including the inclusion of arbitrary deadlines. Regretfully, this did not happen, so we abstained.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 12/01/2015 16:44:26 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/01/2015 answer text We have made representations to the Government of Israel that it is vital that the longstanding status quo in respect of access to Temple Mount/Haram al Sharif, and other historic sites, be preserved. We raised the issue of access restrictions numerous times with the Israeli authorities between September and November last year. Since the middle of November, Muslims of all ages have been allowed to worship at Temple Mount/Haram al Sharif. We have also lobbied the Israeli authorities on the wider issues of movement and access of Palestinians between Jerusalem and the West Bank. answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 19/01/2015 15:39:43 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/01/2015 answer text We have not raised this specific issue with the Israeli authorities, however we hold the Israeli authorities responsible for enforcing the rule of law and to provide the appropriate protection to the Palestinian civilian population. We note the particular sensitivities around olive trees given their status as a national symbol and the sole source of income for many Palestinian farmers. The Palestinian economy needs a productive olive industry. answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 13/01/2015 14:06:36 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
