answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/09/2014 answer text <p>The Government has made it clear that it deplores the Israeli government's expropriation of 988 acres of land around the settlement of Etzion near Bethlehem. It is a particularly ill-judged decision at a time when the priority should be to build on the ceasefire in Gaza. We believe it will do serious damage to Israel's standing in the international community.</p><p>The Government's position on settlements is clear: they are illegal under international law, present an obstacle to peace and take us further away from a two state solution at a time when negotiations to achieve this objective urgently need to be resumed.</p><p>We have strongly urged the government of Israel to reverse this decision.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 04/09/2014 12:00:15 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/09/2014 answer text <p /> <p /> <p>The economy is recovering, the UK has witnessed the biggest annual drop in youth unemployment since records began and the youth claimant count has fallen for each of the past 32 months. In addition, compared to a year ago, there are 136,200 fewer young people on JSA. Added to that, the average number of vacancies available at any one time has increased by 119,000 on the year, to reach over 650,000.</p><p>Therefore, after careful consideration, at a meeting of the Growth and Enterprise Committee, we agreed to keep the same financial support and reallocate funds to focus on the hardest to help youth groups who are still finding it difficult to take up vacancies. This includes providing additional Jobcentre Plus support for those who are Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEETS) in areas of high youth unemployment and areas with the highest concentration of young claimants from Black and Ethnic Minority Groups.</p> answering member constituency Wirral West answering member printed Esther McVey question first answered 04/09/2014 10:29:05 answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey
