answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/06/2022 answer text <p>The UK is clear that, in all but the most exceptional of circumstances, demolitions and evictions are contrary to International Humanitarian Law. Our opposition to the demolition of Palestinian property and the evictions of Palestinians from their homes is long-standing. The practice causes unnecessary suffering to Palestinians and is harmful to efforts to promote peace. We repeatedly call on Israel to abide by its obligations under international law and have a regular dialogue with Israel on legal issues relating to the occupation.</p> answering member constituency Cannock Chase answering member printed Amanda Milling question first answered 16/06/2022 15:02:59 answering member 4454 label Biography information for Dame Amanda Milling

We manage the charter programme flexibly, balancing it with use of scheduled flights to best respond to operational needs. Costs for individual flights will vary based on a number of different factors and are regularly reviewed to ensure that best value for money is balanced against the need to remove those individuals with no right to remain in the UK.</p><p> </p><p>The endless merry go round of late legal claims – which are often unfounded or without merit – can result in people being removed from flights at the last minute. However, our New Plan for Immigration will stop the abuse of the system and expedite the removal of those who have no right to be here.</p><p><em> </em></p> answering member constituency Corby answering member printed Tom Pursglove question first answered 21/06/2022 15:00:40 answering member 4369 label Biography information for Tom Pursglove
